Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Federal Panel of Judges Rules That Republicans Aren't Allowed to Gerrymander in Republican States...because when you gerrymander to reduce Democrat seats, you're usually also reducing sets dominated by black or Hispanic voters, and these judges say you can never, ever reduce the "impact" blacks or Hispanics can have on elections. You can, of course, always reduce the impact of white voters, as California just did. In fact, it's legally required.A three-judge federal panel ruled that the redrawn Texas congressional redistricting map was "racial gerrymandering" and ordered the state to use 2021 maps for the midterm elections. Since it's a federal voting rights case, the only appeal is to the Supreme Court. It's unclear whether the high court will have time to rule before the 2026 primary filing deadline next month. "Any claim that these maps are discriminatory is absurd and unsupported by the testimony offered during ten days of hearings," Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, said in a statement. "This ruling is clearly erroneous and undermines the authority the U.S. Constitution assigns to the Texas Legislature by imposing a different map by judicial edict." Texas state law allows for partisan gerrymandering. Republicans claimed that the map was being redrawn to give them a partisan advantage and to "better reflect Texans' conservative voting preferences -- and for no other reason," said the governor. The Supreme Court ruled in 2019 that the courts could not intervene if a map was drawn to give one side a partisan advantage. "The public perception of this case is that it's about politics," U.S. Judge Jeffrey Brown, a Trump appointee, wrote in the ruling. "To be sure, politics played a role in drawing the 2025 Map. But it was much more than just politics. Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map." Indeed, it's a lot easier to prove "racial gerrymandering" based on the number of voters of color in a new district compared to the last one. It doesn't matter if many of those black and Hispanic voters would vote Republican. The Voting Rights Act only recognized the color of the voter's skin.GOP-aligned people filed a lawsuit against the California gerrymander that Gavin Newsom just put into action. They allege that gerrymander is also a racial gerrymander, packing Republican-leaning -- and largely white -- voters into as few districts as possible. How much do you want to bet that that lawsuit gets laughed out of court, resulting in the de facto rule that Democrats are allowed to gerrymander but Republicans aren't? ... California Gov. Gavin Newsom was openly gloating about the decision. He had just rammed through his own Democratic redistricting map that would reduce the nine Republicans currently serving in the 52-member California congressional delegation to four. "Donald Trump and Greg Abbott played with fire, got burned -- and democracy won," Newsom said in a statement Tuesday. "This ruling is a win for Texas and for every American who fights for free and fair elections."We'll see if the Supreme Court accepts cert on an expedited basis. They're already weighing whether or not the leftist-schemer-fabricated, left-wing-judge imposed doctrine of "disparate impact" -- which claims that you can never adopt any law at all which might have a "disparate impact" on black voters, no matter legislative intent -- can still stand. In the congressional gerrymandering fight between Republicans and Democrats ahead of the 2026 midterm election, a number of states are keeping watch for a potential game changer from the U.S. Supreme Court. During the rare rehearing of a Louisiana redistricting case in October, the court's conservative majority appeared inclined to weaken the Voting Rights Act's Section 2 protections against racial discrimination in the political mapmaking process. Such a ruling could spark a new wave of congressional redistricting, especially in the South, where voting is often racially polarized and Section 2 has long prevented the dilution of Black minority voters' collective power. Without the current Section 2 protections, Republican-led southern states may undo districts where Black voters have a realistic opportunity of electing their preferred candidates, who are usually Democrats. This redrawing could give the GOP a sizable boost, as the party seeks to keep control of the House of Representatives. When the Supreme Court would release its decision is crucial. Time is running out to redo maps, which have to be finalized ahead of a state's filing deadline for candidates seeking to run in a primary election for the midterms. "The earlier the decision comes, the more likely the decision is before the date for candidates to declare that they're going to be running, and the more time there is for legislatures to meet and consider maps and redraw their maps," says Nick Stephanopoulos, a professor specializing in election law at Harvard Law School. The next batch of filing deadlines arrives in December. Still, Stephanopoulos notes these cut-off dates are "just products of state law." "If a state legislature that's hellbent on gerrymandering wants to do so, it wouldn't be especially surprising if that same legislature delayed the filing deadline, potentially even change the date of the primary election, in order to give themselves enough time to gerrymander," Stephanopoulos says.As I've already said, I think Roberts is too cowardly to vote this pernicious discriminatory rule down, and Amy Coney Barrett is a liberal-leaning flake who wants her fellow liberals to accept her back into the club. As if we needed more bad news for 2026-- Indiana RINO liberal Republican state legislators are refusing to redistrict that "red" state. A gerrymander could change the partisan balance of the state delegation from 7 to 2 to 9-0 in favor of Republicans, but "Republicans" are refusing. President Donald Trump is unleashing his anger at Indiana Senate Republicans for not backing the GOP redistricting effort, posting his displeasure three times to Truth Social in the last 24 hours and calling President Pro Tempore Rod Bray a "Total RINO." "In the entire United States of America, Republican or Democrat, only Indiana "Republican" State Senator Rod Bray, a Complete and Total RINO, is opposed to redistricting for purposes of gaining additional Seats in Congress," posted Trump on Monday afternoon, who has seen Republican lawmakers in four states now reject his mid-cycle redistricting scheme. In another Monday post, Trump said competitors were lining up to primary Bray. Bray is not the only Republican in Indiana who doesn't back redistricting. On Monday, Indiana state Sen. Blake Doriot of Goshen issued a statement saying that he was a Trump supporter but that he opposed redistricting. "I have long been a Trump supporter, and I want President Trump to continue to be successful with a Republican-led House so he can continue fixing our woke colleges, fighting illegal immigration and crime, and encouraging us to speak about our great nation and be proud of who we are as Americans -- not apologize for it," Doriot said in a statement. The news comes as Trump is set to issue a retributive endorsement as early as Monday against one of a handful Indiana Senate Republicans who opposes the White House's mid-cycle redistricting plan. Among the holdouts targeted by the White House: Republican state Sen. Jim Buck of Kokomo, who is facing a primary from Tipton County Commissioner Tracey Powell. Trump could back Powell Monday, according to a person familiar with his thinking speaking exclusively with POLITICO, following through on MAGA's and White House allies' long-running threats to primary opponents of their mid-decade redistricting effort intended to protect their slim House majority in the midterms next year.Welcome to Wednesday.

Multiple forms of identification and citizenship status must be provided, or you don't get one. The fair Commonwealth skirts around that with their boilerplate response to inquiries as published in the linked article: "When non-citizen applicants appear at a Driver License Center in Pennsylvania, PennDOT reviews immigration and naturalization documents, which are confirmed in real-time against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) website before issuing any driver's license. PennDOT is prohibited from publicly disclosing information about an individual's driver record due to state and federal privacy laws."Note what that does not say - and what neither DHS nor Fox News decided to mention. It makes no mention of REAL ID. It also makes no mention of CDLs. Both are special cases. Pennsylvania may issue licenses to foreigners at its discretion, and it is common for resident aliens to have domestic licenses if they drive. Pennsylvania may not, however, issue a REAL ID to an alien unless they have long-term legal status. CDLs, too, may not legally be issued to an illegal alien. Pennsylvania is attempting to frame this as "we gave a license to an alien after following our internal procedures for doing so and it was legal from our standpoint" and passed the buck to DHS. So one of two things must be true: 1. The Commonwealth is telling the truth. It did its due diligence and DHS told them "all good here. He's an alien with one of the qualifying legal statuses (permanent resident, visa holder, etc.) and you're all good to issue him a REAL ID from the federal standpoint." 2. The Commonwealth is lying and they either didn't vet him through DHS, or they did vet him and issued him a REAL ID illegally. Who is lying here? Did Pennsylvania fraudulently issue Bozorov a REAL ID while knowing that he was an illegal alien, or did DHS give them them the go-ahead to do so? Why do DHS and the press never comment on the distressingly common problem of the complete failure of the REAL ID system? That system is in place explicitly to avoid this. The cumbersome (and potentially unconstitutional) mess that is the entire REAL ID program is there to ensure that those without long-term legal status are not given official documents that allow them to impersonate having official status. Someone is lying here, but either way, it invites an uncomfortable conclusion: REAL ID doesn't work. Whether its requirements are being ignored by the states or whether its requirements are being ignored by the feds, the fact remains that the requirements are being ignored. The press can be forgiven for missing this, because press men are all retarded. DHS cannot. They know the score and their extraordinarily loud silence on the issue requires explanation. If the problem is with the states, why are they not revoking REAL ID certifications from states that do this and invalidating their existing REAL IDs? If the problem is with the feds, why are they not just scrapping the REAL ID program altogether because it is clearly unfit for purpose as well as burdensome? If it's both (and that would be my guess), then the program is clearly pointless. To ask, in all likelihood, is to answer. That may well be why nobody is asking. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

The root cause of this, like most issues with illegals, is the trucking companies that hire them. There’s no way to inspect every driver. But a few high profile raids of trucking companies including arrests of executives… that may get some companies to think twice about using illegals.

Ah, it was a covid-era gift from Biden:
In 2021, the Biden administration urged states to find ways to approve more licenses, as the country grappled with COVID-era logistics challenges that snared the nation's supply chains. From February 2022 onwards, driving training and test centers were allowed to self-certify their own programs, meaning with no state or federal oversight. There are now over 32,000 self-registered 'training providers' listed in the federal registry. Biden's reforms also led to states massively expanding the issuance of non-domicile CDLs, granting them to many who had an EAD, even if they had entered the country illegally. This came hot on the heels of the watering down of English language requirements: previously drivers who could not converse in English with a police officer or official could have their license revoked. Obama-era rules from 2015 had rescinded that order. Applicants can now take their written test for the CDL in almost any language: Virginia currently offers tests in 26, including the West African dialect Twi, Nepali, Pashto and Haitian Creole.

RealID -- if done right -- would make it harder for illegals to get licenses and to be able to fly. That was the original point.
——- Enrico Fermi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, a real achievement, not the faggy post-modern “economics” ersatz kind. The prize money in those days was substantial and seeing the writing on the wall (His wife was Jewish) he un-asses Europe for the U.S.A. He was fought over by various American universities like the last box of Chicken Nuggets at 2 AM. He ended up at the University of Chicago. But for a time, he was not allowed to fly on aircraft anywhere in the US simply because he was an Alien. Technically speaking, an Enemy Alien, as a state of war existed with Italy. Plyler vs Doe, and so-called “Birthright” citizenship put the nails in the coffin of any sane migration policies. This was of course deliberate, with malice aforethought and psychological manipulation of the worst sort. Guilt trip everyone into letting their guard down. Illegal aliens have a “right” or automatic claim on your resources, just because. Some clown in a robe said so, so it must be true.

CA required a passport (I have one, but expired) or a birth certificate (still had a copy since I needed it to apply for passport) plus two documents showing proof of residency (utility bill, mortgage statement, property tax bill, etc.). The Wifey needed same, plus marriage certificate.
I couldn't use my current driver's license even to prove residency even though it contained my current address.

In Houston they have a lot of problems with 'independent' truckers parking on side streets walking distance from their apartments. Some streets look like a trucking firm yard.
——— One of the dirty secrets of the trucking industry, the way I see it - virtually everything we buy is transported by truck at some point. But everyone hates trucks, and truckers, and don’t want to pay them what they are worth. That’s why they are importing Terrorists from Uzbekistan, after all. I’ve never been a trucker, but it’s a different world. No place to park. You don’t get paid while waiting to pick up a load, which may take hours or days. It used to be, like so many blue collar jobs, a way to make a living. Professional drivers for the most part, salt of the earth types. Now it’s just a minimum wage hell hole, administered through fly by night nicklefvckers. Nobody wants to do it, so anybody who can fog a mirror gets the nod these days. Happy Motoring!

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), a bona fide member of “The Squad,” badly misfired in an attempt to attack EPA head Lee Zeldin for receiving money from one “Jeffrey Epstein” – a doctor in New York, not the convicted billionaire sex offender who killed himself.

An Uzbek citizen had to use a valid biometric passport for foreign travel to depart Uzbekistan since the days of O&Joe but then it began introducing digital ID cards.
23 September 2020, 'The process of introducing digital ID cards instead of 2011 biometric passports will begin starting 2021' In part, "Until the end of 2020, you can apply for an ID card, take the e-queue and make an online payment. The card will be issued within a working day from the date of submission of documents, and for the elderly in need of care and persons with disabilities – within 15 days with a visit to their place of residence without additional payment for the service provided. Valid biometric passports and the Regulation on the passport system in Uzbekistan remain in force until December 31, 2030, that is, from January 1, 2031, the biometric passport of 2011 is considered invalid." -- Don't know when he first appeared in the US but the Biden administration had tourist, business and SO MANY other Visas out hither and yon. There's likely no way to ever know what was issued legally, or obtained illegally, and when. PS - As a 'mature' woman, gave up trying for a real ID in PA, my birth state.

This is sort of a mish mash of styles. The landscape looks like a combination of Impressionist and van Gogh. That's okay and offers possibilities. (His Wiki page shows other landscapes that are pretty good.) But the nudes are just cartoons, rather amateurish, and are a distraction not an attraction.

Story:
Back in the old Snow White days, some Disney animators decided to throw a birthday party for Walt. The height of the festivities was a bespoke cartoon showing Mickey and Minnie 'making love,' as it were. At the showing, both the room and Walt howled with laughter. When the lights came up, Walt asked who had made the cartoon. Two animators smiled and held up their hands. Walt fired them on the spot.

Trump is calling for the release of the Epstein files that the Democrats refused to release under the Biden DOJ lead by the contemptable Merrick Garland because there's info in there that will end Trump's presidency.
One thing I've always asked people...at least make your conspiracy theories make sense. So as you note, the notion there is anything here damaging to Trump would negate him calling for the release and vice versa. But...even worse these same people were arguing not long ago there were no Epstein files and that the only abusers were Epstein, Maxwell, and perhaps Prince Andrew.

Acts 17:26 is one of the most frequently referenced verses: “And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.” For many believers, this affirms that God established distinct nations with defined borders.
Against this broader Christian understanding of borders and authority, Pope Leo XIV has now offered one of his clearest statements on immigration. “No one has said that the United States should have open borders. I think every country has a right to determine who and how and when people enter.” He said he believes illegal aliens should be treated humanely but stressed that this does not mean calling for open borders.

Posted by: anachronda ====== Doordash is a useless wankery of a delivery service and their sketchy hiring practices and service do not make me want to use them. Instacart is about the same to me and about as useless--some of the goods arrive prespoiled due to delivery times and routing (they had drivers loading up at stores close to the driver but not to my home--just great for refrigerated or frozen goods). Easier to just cook at home and if I need groceries, order them for pickup at the store while I am out. Posted by: whig at November 19, 2025 10:19 AM (WDjG6) 177

170 If you are going to get dinner with Taylor Lorenz in 2025 you will have to take a COVID PCR test.
After the test, you will be asked to "be careful" before you arrive. This is due to her "not having an immune system." ======= As someone with an actual autoimmune disease making me susceptible to respiratory infections, I find her idiotic anti-scientific anti-factual mutterings akin to the speeches by substance abusing bums in the streets. Covid has degenerated into the cold producing corona virus that is responsible along with rhinoviruses for what we call the common cold. Novel variants of respiratory illness are more deadly but viruses over time, even engineered ones, become recognized by the body's immune system (unless you are stupid enough to keep getting vaxxed), even weak ones, to prevent the massive inflammatory response that novel variants often provoke. Maltreatment due to CDC and NIH guidelines, vaxxes, and drugs, made Covid far more deadlier than it would have been if they had left it alone like in Sweden. And malicious slugs like Lorenz were cheerleading those nasty actions and want them to continue in perpetuity because she is mentally damaged.

237 I had a relative drive to Canuckistan at one of the more remote crossings.
There was no one there. He waited a while and then drive through. About 10 minutes later a Canuck border guard came up speeding behind him and took him back to the crossing and grilled him for a while. Eventually he was allowed back into Canada but it was made very clear he could have been arrested for what he did.

SCOTUS precedent, actually.
Plyler v Doe. Posted by: TheJamesMadison ====== To be pedantic, Plyer actually did not say that. Instead, it said if a state declares a state constitutional right to a free and public education, then it cannot deny illegals services because illegals are a suspect classification under the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause and state actions preventing illegals from entry cannot be supported under strict scrutiny of the state's actions, even intermediate scrutiny. There is no federal constitutional right to a free education so Scotus backdoored it to the 14th which gave federal courts the ability to hear such cases.

and is really just kind of *meh* about anything related to naked human body parts... it does strike me as a little needy, the relentless obsession over BOOBS! BEWBS! or whichever appellation the AoS Moron designates the female mammary... as if a guy is not seeing enough of breastage in real life and therefore longs for the sight of a female breast on a smart military blog, even if said depiction is lame and cartoonish, like today's example. but then again, it *is* mostly Boomers here, myself included Posted by: kallisto at November 19, 2025 10:53 AM (dCxaZ) STOP TRYING TO FRACTURE THE TITTY COALITION!1!!

Speaking of art, I saw the PBS docu on Basquiat last week. My biggest takeaway is that the art world is a wretched hive of scum and villainy and perverted faggotry.
Basquiat himself had more talent than the usual "modern art" hack, but he basically painted the same painting over and over. The art world was desperate to find the Next Big Thing and he fell right into it. Young, black, charismatic, and with a (fake) hint of 70s black power liberation? The effete faggots and remoras couldn't resist. Posted by: Elric The Blade at November 19, 2025 11:00 AM (iFTx/) 324
"To Hell With The Devil" is actually a pretty awesome metal song. I think Ace Frehley's "Rock Soldiers" song is an example of a Christian rock song.

Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards If people like it, then fine to listen to I guess if the lyrics and presentation are not designed to lead people astray. But I really don't care to be a spectator watching a show--singing hymns as part of a congregation puts the focus on a person's ties to others present as well as offering up your own musical praise to the Lord. Sometimes, the values of entertainment run contrary to the primary focus in a service on how to facilitate a relationship between the individual and the Lord. Outside of religious services, I listen to all sorts of music and you can find meaningful and wholesome, or simply juvenile and funny like Ray Steven's work such as the Squirrel Revival.

Posted by: stv at November 19, 2025 11:47 AM (XMeSM) The Morning Report — 11/19/25![]() At the trial for Linda Sun, a former top aide to New York Govs. Kathy Hochul and Andrew Cuomo allegedly forged Hochul’s signature on invitations for dignitaries from Henan, a province in China. . . Jurors in Brooklyn federal court were shown copies of letters purportedly sent by Hochul on March 26, 2018, inviting a six-member delegation from the province in central China to a meeting with then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo. But the letters bore clearly forged versions of Hochul’s signature — that featured “overly loopy” handwriting, her former chief of staff Jeff Lewis testified. And speaking of autopens, there are also Manchurian candidates: A big part of the Biden ‘autopen’ scandal is that we don’t really know who’s making decisions in parts of the government. A signature doesn’t really mean much these days and government has gotten so big and chaotic that there are really complicated chains of authority, yet a lot of the actual work, including even the signing, is down by junior personnel . . . Prosecutors say that Sun, who served as Cuomo’s director of Asian-American affairs, forged the governor’s then-No. 2 Hochul’s signature several times that year in an attempt to curry favor with Chinese officials. “Her loyalty was for sale, and the Chinese government, which wanted to influence the New York government, was willing to pay her to do their bidding,” prosecutor Amanda Shami said during last week’s opening statements. . . That’s why the question of who was actually wielding executive authority in the Biden administration and in any administration matters so much. . . What we have is a system of low-level staffers who can do anything with no oversight and can work for anyone.While this is certainly true, it's not so much the low-level staffers, it's Biden himself. But considering his brain function was and remains somewhere between that of a cup of yogurt and a dessicated clump of lichen, it's whoever Biden was fronting for, be it Obama, Valerie Jarrett, David Axelrod, George Soros or some combination of them and others. It kind of puts the stories of the Chi-Coms owning massive tracts of our farmland as well as trailer parks and other property that are very close or otherwise butting up against our military installations, and Chinese nationals with direct connection to or are agents of the Chi-Com party and/or intelligence apparatus in everything from our schools and media to some of our most sensitive defense and industrial establishments into very alarming perspective. But not to worry because we now have this to deal with: Mamdani’s First Endorsement Called Al Qaeda Terrorist a Hero . . . Daughter of an illegal alien criminal and terrorist supporter runs for office in New York.And this too!

PE in 401(k): "“You use ChatGPT every day, but you can’t buy OpenAI.”
The reason you can't buy OpenAI is because VC's (venture capitalists) realized (long ago), that they were leaving money on the table by going public early. Now, companies stay private until the last drop of growth has been squeezed out, and only then flipped to the public in an overvalued IPO. Allowing 401(k) to invest in PE isn't going to change that.

The results of the latest NAEP U.S. history and civics test, last administered in 2022, were atrocious. The scores reveal that only 13% of 8th-graders met proficiency standards for U.S. history, meaning they could explain key themes, periods, events, people, ideas, and turning points in the country’s history. Additionally, about 20% of students scored at or above the proficient level in civics. Both scores are the lowest ever recorded on these two tests.

Reuters published a screed this morning calling for the un-cancelling of anyone punished for celebrating the Charlie Kirk murder. "600 Americans" were "punished", says the somehow still living propaganda organ.
In the 1969 book The Story of Journalism (one of my faves), there's a chapter which includes the founding of the Reuter Agency by Paul Julius de Reuter: "Reuter's name was remembered partly because it was seen so often and partly because it was rather strange to English eyes. Few English readers even knew how to pronounce it, until the following nimble verses appeared in the St James's Gazette: I sing of one no Pow'r has trounced, Whose place in every strife is neuter; Whose name is sometimes mispronounced As Reuter. How of, as through the news we go, When breakfast leaves an hour to loiter - We quite forget the thanks we owe To Reuter."

Posted by: r hennigantx at November 19, 2025 08:10 AM (gbOdA) I featured content about this on last night's ONT. Several articles I read all had a common explanation for the cost growth. Supposedly, the initial estimates did not include "pre-construction activities" - otherwise known as demolition of the existing over-water roadways which lead up to the main span of the bridge. Really? NOBODY caught that a year and a half ago? Another supposed reason for the cost growth is that the new main span will be longer and higher than the original one. OK, fine -- but that was also known at the time of the original estimate. It really is typical of a govt project run in a one-party, blue state.

They don't mention anything specific, of course, but they're hoping they have enough minions in the military to stage a coup rebelling any order that Hegseth, viewed as a Trump puppet, gives, regardless.
Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at November 19, 2025 08:20 AM (Zz0t1) Specifically, they're hoping to get field grade officers (major through full colonel) in critical roles to refuse to obey orders. Those officers will then not give orders to their underlings and the effect will spread without the junior personnel having to refuse to act. This will get the officers in question relieved of their command and, in all likelihood, court martialed for failure to obey orders. But the politicians won't pay a price for what they've done because what they did was, technically, correct. Same as it ever was.

Yes, they're trying to foster a mutiny BUT what they said is literally the law under which the military operates. The fact that they are dishonest fuckheads only matters to the extent that it makes you mad. Their intent is to make people emotional because emotional people are controllable people. No amount of annoyance on your part makes their action illegal, nor would it excuse the action - or lack of action - on the part of someone in the military.

It’s hard enough teaching junior enlisted personnel how to do their jobs, mission objectives and the underlying lawful basis. They are deliberately trying to poison that well and have personnel disobey lawful orders, which will not only likely result in a BCD, but also damage the espirit de corps.

Posted by: Huck Follywood at November 19, 2025 08:11 AM (H+9UG) Islam is an all encompassing totalitarian political system which justifies total control of the population by a small empowered elite; and making it “religion” was dark genius because it allows that elite to brutally crush any dissent and execute any internal critics for Heresy. No wonder the left admires it so. And the payoff/bribe to Muslim men is that they are empowered to treat all women as chattel slaves.

Stephen Miller Reveals Shocking Statistic- 40% of Rent-Controlled Housing in NYC Occupied is By Foreign Born Population
--- What 90% of people in this country don't understand about welfare is, there is a whole system by those on welfare to get more welfare for themselves and those they know. Whole trainings, tricks, schemes and practices that they teach and learn that you have no idea about. Which includes insider embeds, fixers and facilitators with kickbacks and bribes. It's not "go down to the benefits office, apply and, if you qualify, get paid." That's what most think it is. You do that, even if you meet all the written qualifications and maybe, maybe but most likely not, you'll get a trickle. While this illiterate ass-waving near-retard arab fresh off the boat, will get the full menu, set up with an apartment, food stamps, cash stipends and a whole list of freebies within a week.

To me, this is a tough one. The country was founded on principles of religious freedom...but also very much the intent of a mostly racially and culturally homogenous population.

Trump, who mocked Biden's use of autopen, caught posting identical signatures on pardons. It’s always projection. Always.
He gets caught constantly not knowing what EO he signed or who he pardoned. I don't remember any situation like that with Biden. Even if they used autopen, he knew what it was signing. The entire point of the autopen "controversy" was to give them cover for when they use it, because they know Trump's mental state is rapidly deteriorating. He didn't just "mock" Biden's use of autopen (he actively has a photo of an autopen in the white house with bidens name under it replacing a portrait of him). He's threatening criminal charges and undoing legal actions because of it. He's such a fucking toddler. Trump got the nickname "Donny Two Scoops" with his own staff in his first admin because at state dinners when ice cream was served for dessert trump ordered that everyone get only a single scoop, but he get two.

The Muslim call to prayer(s), the Adhan is a conditioning tool. It's designed to keep them "in line." To my mind, it's one of the reasons they do it several times a day. The faithful get reminded a half dozen times a day what their mission in life is. We also know what their mission in life is.

I think it depends on how they were brought into the system. If they were underaged no. If some were brought in of age? Well...that makes them more like prostitutes or "yacht girls". And I do suspect Epstein had both. Bring in a target and start him with young but legal and willing women. Then add drugs and alcohol and eventually bring in the girls that will give you kompromat.

Canadia looking at starvation as a solution to insufficient diversity -
OTTAWA, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — The Cabinet of Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a note that a Canadian Crown bank mostly used by farmers is too “white” and not diverse enough in its lending to “traditionally underrepresented groups” such as LGBT minorities. Farm Credit Canada Regina, in Saskatchewan, is used by thousands of farmers, yet federal cabinet overseers claim its loan portfolio needs greater diversity. ... “Farm operators are predominantly older white men and farm families tend to have higher average incomes compared to all Canadians,” the note reads. “Traditionally underrepresented groups such as women, youth, Indigenous, LGBTQ, and Black and racialized entrepreneurs may particularly benefit from regular legislative reviews to better enable Farm Credit Canada to align its activities with their specific needs.” Posted by: Chuck Martel at November 19, 2025 09:16 AM (Dv3i1) 327

I don't just share my grandfather's values, but his literary talent. By my new book "Morning Glory Silking Farm." It's a shocking and transgressive tale of seduction about a lonely young immigrant woman who is forced to milk an enormous arachnid breeding stud's turgid spinneret in the shadows of Trump's America, and falls under the toxic but sensual male gaze of his many hungry eyes.

Atlantis ? .. again
A team of independent researchers is claiming to have found Atlantis. The research centers around stone structures on Spain's Salmedina Island, off Chipiona in the Gulf of Cádiz, west of the Strait of Gibraltar. The ruins are spread across roughly 11.6 square miles of offshore seafloor and adjacent coastline, with some walls measuring 23 feet high and 6.5 feet thick.

In October alone, there were 36,766 foreclosure filings — the first step in the process, when a lender warns a borrower they’re in default. That’s up three percent from September and 19 percent from a year ago.
‘Foreclosure activity continued its steady upward trend in October — the eighth straight month of year-over-year increases,’ said ATTOM CEO Rob Barber. The rise is stirring uncomfortable memories of 2008, when a wave of foreclosures triggered the worst housing crash in modern US history. Posted by: SMOD at November 19, 2025 09:28 AM (RHGPo) 379

Despite overwhelming votes in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate to pass a bill forcing the release of files about Jeffrey Epstein, some lawmakers believe President Donald Trump could still skirt the bill's intent and avoid disclosing material about the late sex trafficker's activities.
Their concern is the Department of Justice (DOJ) may withhold key documents related to its investigations into Epstein's sexual abuse of underage girls through a legal loophole that Trump opened last Friday. The president ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to open an investigation into Epstein's connections to three prominent Democrats: former president Bill Clinton, former treasury secretary Larry Summers and the billionaire founder of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman. ... and the Earth and Moon could collide this afternoon Posted by: SMOD at November 19, 2025 09:31 AM (RHGPo) 392

Bitcoin falling below $93,000 could trigger an accelerated liquidation cascade The total cryptocurrency market cap has erased $1.2 trillion (£913.8 billion) of investor wealth in just over five weeks. Bitcoin prices have plummeted over 25% to below $90,000 (£68,536) this week, down from record highs of $126,000 (£95,951) in early October. The last time Bitcoin traded below the $90,000 mark was seven months ago, erasing much of this year's gains and sparking widespread concern across the crypto industry.

I have an automated trading system for various securities and I've been doing "paper" trading in bitcoin for more than a year. (Paper meaning it's using fake money and not really trading anything as a kind of a live test.) It works pretty well, and even on the price drop I'm still up more than 100%, compared to when bitcoin was last about this price.
Or, you know, I would be if I was doing actual trading. Posted by: Cybersmythe at November 19, 2025 04:10 AM (VmDLh) 12

What do the Democrats have in mind for Hegseth or Trump to do? As I have mentioned many times, my vote for Trump was not for economic security, border security or anything else except sheer, unadulterated revenge. Which I have not had. (what's 'revenge,' you ask? Oh, let's start with the majority of Democrat criminals who are walking around guilty as sin and free as a bird, for starters) But then, I have never had what I truly want in this life, so Trump is just one more of my life's disappointments.

You are actually required to refuse an unlawful order. The trick is knowing what orders are unlawful. Get that wrong, in either direction, and you're screwed.

Configuration changes in the production environment *shouldn't* break things. That's why you have a parallel staging environment, which should look just like production but doesn't directly do production work. The idea being that you test the changes that you want to do in production in the staging environment first; if staging breaks, don't do that in production.
But...production is big and expensive, but customers use it and give us money to do so. Staging sits around and costs as much as production, but nobody's paying us for it. Solution?

Posted by: Skip at November 19, 2025 05:00 AM (+qU29) The military deals with a few cases of this every year. Usually low rank people. Depending on the details, they normally get a Bad Conduct Discharge. Sometimes they go to prison. I'm guessing that the folks in the video are encouraging officers, and preferably senior officers, to play the "I know the law" game. It won't work out well for them.

Evening and morning, late toilers and early risers respectively! A new Woden's Day is about to dawn here (well, in about an hour and fifteen minutes it will). Howz alla yez?
I dreamed just now that I was hiking in a national park, one of the Western dry ones, with a female friend (probably Linda). Suddenly I was bitten by a centipede -- a pale gray thing that had looked just like the rock it was on. Thing was a foot long! And it bit me not on the leg, as you'd expect, but *jumped* somehow to bite me on the right arm below the elbow. It hung on, too, and Linda had to pull it loose. I was bleeding, so we crossed the street -- apparently this park was right in town -- to the first aid station. It was getting dark and the nurse and doctor were about to go home (?), but sprang into action when they saw my blood. I was asking if I would need an antivenin shot, and the doctor was saying yes, and are you allergic to anything?, when I woke up.

Regarding the Mac bug: That code may have been deliberate. Just because the instruction in question is officially undocumented doesn't mean Apple programmers didn't know about it.

Just watched one of the classic Max Fleischer Superman short cartoons on Movies! They are justly acclaimed. Beautifully drawn with fantastically well-done backdrops, they show Superman at his best, battling a science-fictional enemy: a guy who looks remarkably like actor Zachary Scott and who has created a crew of giant robots to commit robberies for him. The motion of bodies in space, the flow of Superman's cape, the shape of his fedora as Clark Kent, all amazing.

"Still the cost/effort of setting up an entire parallel system to test every source change before rolling it out would be crazy."
Well, if you want to automate releases via CI/CD, that's what you gotta do. Where I work used to have a startup culture; deploy at 0-dark-thirty, test, rollback if the tests fail. If it fails the next day, rollback ASAP. Impact to customers is minimal and you release stuff fairly quickly. We were bought by a company that loves process so much that the process smells like jism. Said company, however, won't pay for staging to look like production and the people who greenlight releases only sniff the documentation around the release to see if it smells like enough ejaculate is on it. Yeah, it's all about trade-offs and what you should have might be too expensive to actually have; I get that (I like the company to have enough money to pay me, after all). But, there are cost savings to be had by reducing useless process, which never seems to happen. Posted by: Richard Cranium at November 19, 2025 06:26 AM (vWzw8) 126

Got a friendly note from my bank that communications with them by phone is now automated. A friendly voice will answer the phone and help your find who you need to talk to. Of course its now going to be AI and you will love it. Not to worry the voice will be friendly (they keep telling me that). And the server will be local not from the far east. Since I seldom ever actually call them anyway, that 'friendly voice' will make you happy. So the bank is saving a few dollars by getting rid of actual operators, it brings joy to my heart. BS.

In US Army usage, "out" means that I understood your transmission, have no reply, and do not expect a reply from you. "over" means that I understood your transmission but expect further traffic from you.

Oh, I've been there.
I worked at a company in an office tower (the old Alcatel, now Avaya, building in Denver). The guy who managed the building was total dumbass and yuuuuge Patriots fan, BIRM. I told this guy - several times, no less than five times over the course of a couple years - "this building's HVAC is running at significant negative pressure, and it's going to cause a problem for you eventually." Eventually happened one day when we had a brutal cold snap, the HVAC sucked enough very cold air into the elevator shafts/utility trunk, froze the sprinkler system up, and every sprinkler in the building started spewing. Including in our server room. We had a bunch of software engineers spend a day running a bucket brigade in there. This doofus tried *ordering us out* for "safety." We just laughed in his face and told him to get fucked. We weren't about to let our servers get ruined to assuage the officious ego of the retard who flooded the building because he was to busy beating off to Tom Brady to listen to reason and do his job.

Pleasance was spot on as Himmler I never saw that. I can imagine Pleasance conveying Himmler's coldness, but I see him as plumper than the Reichsfuhrer-SS. The late great John Carradine played Heydrich in 1943s Hitler's Madman. He had the height and slimness for the part, but I thought he chewed too much scenery.

More magic - I remember a story about an AI analysis on FPGA (basically a computer chip you can reprogram to do different things). They got it to come up with a FPGA design/program to do what they wanted, but it did it very, very efficiently. By an order of magnitude.
The engineers were concerned, as they didn't understand how there would be so much cruft and unneeded design in hand-rolled code. So they analyzed. And analyzed. Turns out, the code "did not work". More accurately, there were side effects from the AI's design technique that worked on the specific FPGA chip it was working with. Run this little bit of code, and the flow of electricity would change enough so that bit of code 'malfunctioned', but in the way that supported the goal. Terribly efficient, but not fully reproducible for other chips without those same exact flaws. Wondering how much code was designed by developers who used similar "undocumented features" and other bugs, making the software unstable and unusable in other contexts, but allowing them to ship today.

Discriminative AI:
Imagine deciding you want to learn how to swing a golf club better. Golf is, apparently, an expensive sport. There's the hardware itself, your golf bag and golf clubs. There are the fees for a golf course, which you can't use 24/7 because shared resource. If you want to train, you need someone to coach, which would mean even more money. What if you could train how to swing in your backyard, or even in a room within your house (without actual ball) (or maybe keep it outside; remember the Wii-motes). A specialized golf tee platform, some cameras, and an AI tutor. You do a few practice swings, it records the motion. Calculates your body - height, arm length, where your hips are, etc. Calculates how you swing. Identifies issues with how you move, and provides advice on how to improve your posture, grip, motion. Maybe it could also simulate what your swing would do to a golf ball, giving a virtual display of where it would go. And then different examples of its path, based upon different wind patterns. If you keep up with the training, you could learn a part of how to be a better golfer. Personalized for you, not reliant on the limited time of another.

Cybersecurity is a top priority for the Department of War (DoW or Department). The defense industrial base (DIB) faces increasingly frequent and complex cyber-attacks. To strengthen DIB cybersecurity and better protect DoW information, the Department developed the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program. CMMC assesses defense contractor compliance with existing information safeguarding requirements for federal contract information (FCI) and controlled unclassified information (CUI).
Posted by: SMOD at November 19, 2025 12:00 PM (RHGPo) Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - November 18, 2025 [Doof]![]() Big Internet Outage Earlier Today ![]() ![]() Rendering of the new Key Bridge design Commuters, residents, and business owners waiting for a new Key Bridge will have to wait longer than previously though… and construction will cost two to three times as much. The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) released new cost and timeline estimates one day before the National Transportation Safety Board released the failures that led the M/V Dali to lose power, strike the bridge, and cause the deadly collapse. MDTA says it is working with the Federal Highway Administration to “quickly and safely” advance the rebuilding of the bridge that people and commerce operations relied on. MDTA announced it has raised the cost estimate to a range of $4.3-$5.2 billion, up from $1.7 billion. The predicted opening date of the bridge has been pushed back from 2028 to late 2030.Why, you ask? MDTA attributes the doubling or tripling of the cost to changing national economic conditions and material costs, which the agency says have increased dramatically. Because the cost and timeline estimates were made less than two weeks after the collapse on March 26, 2024, they didn’t factor in pre-construction activities (which have been underway since this summer), advanced design, and updated data points. *** A big part of the cost increase comes from the length of the main bridge span and the height of the main piers. The new bridge’s main span will be 1,665 feet long to accommodate today’s large ships (some of which are much larger than the Dali).I'm sorry -- WHAT?? The original estimates didn't factor in pre-construction activities or the length of the new main span??? Nobody picked up on that a year and a half ago? Yeah, OK. Here's a recent photo of pre-construction activities. ![]() Within hours of the bridge’s collapse, then-President Joe Biden promised that the federal government would cover 100% of the cost of replacement. That pledge was later codified into law by Congress. But President Donald Trump (R) has repeatedly hinted that he does not feel bound by that agreement. In an online spat with Gov. Wes Moore (D) in August, whcn Moore slammed Trump’s suggestion that he might send National Guard troops into Baltimore, the president ended a lengthy social media post by saying he “gave Wes Moore a lot of money to fix his demolished bridge. I will now have to rethink that decision???” And U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, while pledging that the federal government is committed to working with the state to deliver a new Key Bridge, has pressed the state for updates on costs and the timeline for the reconstruction. “Congress granted the Secretary of Transportation important authorities to conduct critical oversight to ensure that Federal highway funds are properly managed, and I take this authority seriously,” Duffy said in a September letter to state officials. “It is my role to guarantee that federally funded projects benefit the entire Nation through every dollar spent.” In that letter, Duffy also warned that the state’s “reliance on race- or sex-conscious factors in contracting decisions” could threaten the project. It was a reference to the state Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program, which aims to use state contracts to bolster minority- and women-owned businesses. Kiewit, the contractor overseeing the bridge project, has committed to a goal of using 26% “disadvantaged business enterprises,” including campanies [sic] that are at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more minority individuals.What does Governor Moore say about that? In a statement Monday night, Moore said the state will “continue to work with the Trump Administration to find ways to reduce costs and rebuild faster.” The higher costs and longer timeline are the result of outside factors, “not discretionary state choices,” he said.Yup. Not his fault. And definitely not any cronyism or grift going on. ----- In another part of the country, a bridge nears completion. New Yellowstone Bridge Replaces Crumbling 62-Year-Old Span ![]() Big news, big bridge - visitors to Yellowstone National Park are now using the new Yellowstone River Bridge. This major Great American Outdoors Act project is moving into its final phase as crews continue work on overlooks, remove the old bridge, and restore the Lost Creek drainage. The full project is expected to be completed in 2026. The bridge was one of the biggest projects in the park's recent history. The old bridge was deemed structurally deficient, with crumbling concrete. The new bridge, located upstream, is more than twice as long, at 1,285 feet, as the 62-year-old bridge. *** The project was originally estimated to cost slightly more than $71 million, but park officials said the rising cost of labor and materials like concrete and steel pushed the budget to $118 million.Wes Moore is probably laughing at the relatively tiny price tag for this bridge! Conservationists recently reunited a mother otter with her baby and caught it on film. It seems surreal when marine conservationists plop the lost baby sea otter into the frigid waters of Morro Bay in Central California. Before it makes its way back into the arms of its mother, the thing just bobbed around like a crabbing buoy. *** For two hours, the team plied the coastline, blasting the call off of one side of the boat and then the other with no luck. Finally, a female otter popped her head above the water and began to take interest in the boat—something otters almost never do; they have no interest in people or boats typically. The intern moved the speaker around the sides of the boat to see if the visitor would follow the sound: which it did, giving them the cue to throw man overboard overboard. With up to 970,000 strands of hair per square inch, the sea otter’s fur is the densest of any animal. An air layer sits between the skin and the base of the fur that prevents any water from reaching it. It is, therefore, startlingly buoyant. Lowering it gently into the water, it floated helplessly on its back, rolling around as if it were on a thick quilt. Mom swam over, grabbed the baby, and began to smell it rather intensely before swimming away, reunited with its pup.Video at the link 1991 - Achtung Baby from U2. Yes, this band takes a lot of deserved scorn from the Horde. But they did make some great music in the early days, and I'd say this is their last really good album. I'll forego the hits / singles from the album and go with a deep track - dedicated to a lovely lady who is gone but will never be forgotten. This was among her favorites. 1985 - Psychocandy, debut album from The Jesus and Mary Chain. I remember buying this CD when it came out. The audio mix is very heavy on treble. Not sure why. Also in 1985, a banger of an album was released. Here's a track from it. Dedicated to Mis Hum. ![]() Comments or questions? Suggestions for content? Do the email thing at doof2112 at proton dot me.

I have watched the first three episodes of Ken Burns' new PBS special on the Revolutionary War (basically, everything through Trenton).
So far, I give it a B to a B-. Where Burns sticks to the purely military side of things, it's pretty good; there's a lot of great maps and 3D models of the battlefields, and plenty of stories about the experiences of individual soldiers. On the other hand, Burns does get into the race/gender nonsense more than he should. Not as much as he probably would have if Trump wasn't in charge now, and to be clear, the Revolution does have social tensions that deserve to be talked about; but you do notice it. It's worth a watch, but don't take everything at face value. Posted by: Dr. T at November 18, 2025 10:05 PM (lHPJf) 26

Again sacrificing precious time to watch American Revolution for y'all. The third episode covers the initially hard times for the Patriot army and Washington. It mentions the two Howe brothers, one a general the other an admiral. The general makes several half-hearted attempts to defeat Washington. Winter begins to set in and Washington's somewhat diminished army defeats a larger Hessian complement and then FREES the Germans! Says they have been forced to fight! Less this episode of racial comments and indian notes. Both groups are treated poorly by the patriots and the blacks essentially ignored by the Brits.

Today our Knights of Columbus council packed over 350 Thanksgiving dinner boxes to hand out tomorrow for needy families around here. You know, the usual stuff - turkeys, boxes of mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, green beans and corn. Various deserts too.
Worked a deal with a food wholesaler to loan us a reefer trailer - actually the same one they used to deliver the turkeys. Another Brother Knight and I finally got through to the powers that be this year to NOT provide frozen, monster turkeys to the recipients. Instead, we gave them smaller turkey roasts. Around here, the truly poor don't have big freezers, don't know how to thaw a bird anyway, and may not have a working oven.

I had a period of employment with the Corps of Engineers. That was almost thirty years ago. At that time, most if not all "civilian" projects were managed by the Corps but completed by contractors. Could they get the bridge completed sooner? I don't know.

I looked up the Tappan Zee bridge rebuild and that cost $4B for a bridge twice as long as this one is supposed to be.
And the original Key bridge cost $141M which is supposedly about $500M in current dollars. So...yeah there is a LOT of graft built into this estimate. Posted by: 18-1 at November 18, 2025 10:15 PM (sKqQm) 66

Strangely, I have moron experience building a bridge. Montana, 1965. My uncle and I built a bridge over a creek a little over 30 feet wide. Used four BIG timbers as the base and 4x12s as the floor. Only powered tool was a Ford tractor which my uncle drove over the first two base pieces. It was about 15' down to the water. I was keeping quiet but he told my aunt that evening at supper. I thought she was passing out! So . . . . across a bay? I might need a bigger tractor!

Posted by: 18-1 at November 18, 2025 10:15 PM (sKqQm) I'm so glad you called it the Tappan Zee. I will never call it the Mario Cuomo Bridge. Fun fact: The Tappan Zee is not built at the closest space between the two sides - in fact it is practically at the farthest space between them. That is because the builders didn't want the bridge subject to PATH revenue confiscation, so they built it at the point just beyond their jurisdiction.

Here's something odd I've notice of late...when I go into forums on political issues that aren't strictly left/right MOST of the comments are right leaning - even in discussions that would normal hew left - global warming, "immigrant rights", etc.
The latter, for example, is almost hilarious, where someone will post a tear jerker article on some poor illegals Trump deported and almost all the comments are "this is what I voted for" Posted by: 18-1 at November 18, 2025 10:32 PM (sKqQm) 143

The Newport Bridge which is actually longer overall than the Golden Gate Bridge was finished in 1969 at a total cost of $54 million. There was a really interesting documentary done a few years ago about the history of the bridge and it's pretty interesting both for how the bridge was built and how it changed the entire region.

Fort Ross, north of SF on the Sonoma Coast, is an interesting visit. The Russian imperial outpost had "indigenous" (from Alaska and points north) contractors who hunted the otters. The main market for the pelts was in the court(s) of Chy-nah.
As for fur, smoothest most luxurious kind I recall was silver fox, in the (very expensive) hats for sale at the Soviet hard currency stores (beriozkas - Franpsycho should fondly recall them) in Leningrad. Unbelievable. I settled for a muskrat hat, bought from the big department store (Gostinniy Dvor), for about $30 in rubles, part of the proceeds of a sale of one pair of Levis for $125. Still have the hat. Putting it on outside when it's in the 20s is like stepping indoors, it's so effective. Posted by: rhomboid at November 18, 2025 10:49 PM (U/Byj) 202

Remember - the idiotic "high speed rail" (which makes zero sense even if it were built on time and under budget) is a creation *of the voters*, who approved it in a referendum item. Sure they violate the bond requirements (hilarious) on the financial side, the "real world" side would make a Ukrainian oligarch blush at the corruption, and so on.

Remember - the idiotic "high speed rail" (which makes zero sense even if it were built on time and under budget) is a creation *of the voters*, who approved it in a referendum item. Sure they violate the bond requirements (hilarious) on the financial side, the "real world" side would make a Ukrainian oligarch blush at the corruption, and so on. But it's the idiots tailgating you on the freeway that made it happen.

After the Civil War thing I think I caught a total of 10 minutes of his "Jazz" series, in some waiting room somewhere. He's a general issue political cretin so no surprises.
Oh wait there was the WWII thing which was, much as I described the "peace" museum in Hiroshima as I exited, "not as bad as I expected", but still unimpressive. Saw that one.

---------- Yes, indeed he did. He delivered an address at the opening of a college for blacks in the 1870s. To show just how much he changed, in the aftermath of the Fort Pillow massacre, there was an angry exchange of letters between Federal General Hindman (IIRR) and Forrest, in which Hindman accused Forrest of deliberately massacring the USCT. Forrest indignantly replied that he did not, that he would never destroy valuable property. Showing a really alien mindset to me.

Grok@grok . , Replying to @roseWeCanWoman @World_Insights1 It depends on organizational ability, majority passivity, and institutional strength, but historically 10-20% of a highly motivated group suffices to infiltrate key positions without opposition—see Lebanon or early Islamic expansions. In modern democracies, a minority can dominate long-term via alliances and demographics like higher birth rates, without needing absolute majority. Full takeover demands cultural erosion and electoral wins, more likely above 30% if resistance remains absent.

That’s why I specified “about” a year.
Army Corps of Engineers (and the Seabees) did incredible work during the war years, along with large corporations, who were not necessarily interested in taking on more work than they already had. Oak Ridge and Hanford alone were pretty big operations, and the airfields at places like Tinian were among the largest anywhere. Although something like 15 million Americans were in uniform, a huge workforce had to stay at home, I’m not sure how they got them. If one was a machinist or welder, he probably got pulled out of the .mil fairly early on. Posted by: Common Tater at November 18, 2025 11:42 PM (S79R3) 341

U2's popular songs (e.g. Sunday Bloody Sunday) are ok, but not great. U2's good stuff is good because A) Bono does have an amazing voice and 2) because the guitar sound is very unique.
A great example of the unique guitar would be the opening of 'Where the Streets Have No Name'. It is a guitar like no other. Also their song 'One'. Say what you will, but the guitar is unique and really works well with the song. As far as Bono's voice, their ongoing 'One Tree Hill' is a great example of what Bono was capable of. If anyone wants to give an honest assessment, have a listen to One Tree Hill. It also has U2's unique guitar. Do listen beginning to end though... it builds nicely, anBono really gets going after about 3:50. https://tinyurl.com/ur3yjck5 Posted by: 496 at November 19, 2025 12:18 AM (Mjjx+) 389

Out to lunch Henry Kaiser.
Between 1931 and 1945, he helped organize combinations of construction companies to build the Hoover, Bonneville, and Grand Coulee dams, as well as other large projects. To supply the more than 6,000,000 barrels of cement needed for the Shasta Dam, he erected a cement plant in Permanente, Calif., and a nine-mile conveyor belt across a mountain to the dam site in 1939. During World War II he ran seven shipyards that used assembly-line production to build ships in as little as 4 1/2 days. By the end of the war, his yards had produced 1,490 ships for the U.S. maritime commission. In 1941–42, he built the only integrated steel mill on the west coast of the United States, to make steel for his shipyards.

Does WWV have a transmitter on 2.5 mHz? I picked up something going "tick, tick, tick" at that spot on the dial. Radio plays; the problem is the power switch, located in the back of the tone control, is no good. And there is dust or crap in the tuning capacitor, manifested as scratchy noise as you tune the dial through one area on any of the bands. A shot of brake cleaner, and a blast with an air nozzle ought to fix that.

WWV operates in the high frequency (HF) portion of the radio spectrum. The station radiates 10 000 W on 5 MHz, 10 MHz, and 15 MHz; and 2500 W on 2.5 MHz and 20 MHz. WWV has resumed broadcasting on 25 MHz on an experimental basis. The broadcast consists of the normal WWV signal heard on all other WWV frequencies, at the same level of accuracy. Current 25 MHz Broadcast Specifications Schedule: typically continuous. As an experimental broadcast, the 25 MHz signal may be interrupted or suspended without notice.

Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at November 19, 2025 12:49 AM (CN6P7) They called those screws "trimmers". If the tuning capacitor section is nominally 40 to 240 pF, the trimmer might range it from 38 to 238, or 42 to 242 pF. And those adjustments all interact. You set all the screws to get max volume on a station at 1410 kHz, and you may find reception a 610 suffers a lot. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 19, 2025 12:55 AM (npFr7) 438

I refurbed a really ancient Philco for a guy once, one of those Cathedral style. Real pain in the ass, because Philco didn’t use standard capacitors, they had proprietary tar-encased blocks.
Anyway when I got done, I noticed the intermediate transformers had been aligned in such a way for maximum bandwidth & fidelity, it was almost deaf on most of the dial but picked up the local station at the high end really nice, with surprisingly good tone. They must have kept it tuned to one and only one station. Once it was all aligned according to Hoyle it was quite good at reception, but had reverted to that characteristic tinny kind of old radio sound from the 1930s. They do sound way better for voice. I recapped a big wooden console radio for someone else, and that fucker could get you arrested when turned up loud. I think it was a Motorola.

I know this is hard to believe but there is zero incentive in keeping a solar energy system on a public building operational.
In fact, as you amuse yourself with the illusion that your tax dollars are being used for a good purpose, the truth is a shocking number of these systems aren't even operational. Maintenance costs money. It's cheaper and easier just to flip the breakers and walk away. This happens a lot. But they are serving their purpose. I know this is true by being involved in a statewide energy audit of schools and other public buildings. Our findings resulted in the future funding of energy audits was cut.

Regarding peanut butter sandwiches... back in the day my mom made peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches. Anyone else have them?
They were better than they sound... they really weren't bad. Nevertheless, since I've been grown ihave never made one and probably never will. Fond memories, though Posted by: 496 at November 19, 2025 01:03 AM (EWlvz) All through 8 years of grade school, my lunch was either a peanut butter and apple jelly (only) sandwich or two hot dogs split sandwich. I was also an early devotee of potato chips/corn chipts on my PB&J sandwich. In 4th grade, the other kids were making fun of me putting potato chips on my sandwich. The teacher saw what was going on, came over to my desk and said, out loud, 'You like potato chips on your sandwich? So do I. Stopped the ridicule. The little things make good teachers.

The “Elvis” is a sandwich that he liked, Peanut Butter, Bacon, and Banana. Grilled. Never had one. I’d probably skip the banana. Peanut butter and bacon sounds good.

Kent Rollins has a real good cooking channel he does, on the Tube that is You, he turned me on to Chipotle in Adobo sauce. Smoked Jalapeños in a tomato sauce w/onion and garlic. Supplied in twee little cans. Great for everything really, from Chili of course, chicken & rice, even potato casserole dishes. Should be great in omelettes too. Use with caution at first, one can will give a large bowl of red a pretty decent kick. Has more flavor than heat. That’s what I like, can’t see any reason for food to actually burn.

Life on Mars, specifically the Viking experiments is being revisited: https://is.gd/iM4VAc The Viking landers had several experiments designed to look for signs of microbial life -- basically metabolic processes. Several of them had positive results, but that was dismissed as likely abiotic, due to the absence of organic molecules. There was some chlorine compounds there, but they decided those were contamination from the landers themselves. Well, they now know their are organics on Mars, including those chlorine compounds. Anyway, one of the lead scientists on one of the experiments, Gil Levin, insisted to his death that they found good signs of life, and was pretty bitter about it. All of that is now being revisited, nearly 50 years later. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 18, 2025 07:27 PM (w6EFb) 59

I remember having conversations with a leftist back during Trump 1, and his position was that Trump would be the end of the GOPe, which I welcomed.

25 Every penguin-free Café is clement, indeed.
Posted by: Duncanthrax One interesting mystery concerning the defection of double agent Kim Philby to the Soviet Union via a Russian freighter in Beirut has always been, who tipped Philby off to his imminent arrest? KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn confirmed, in documents only recently declassified, that the person who advised Philby to leave Beirut post haste was an individual previously named in these comments: Duncan Duncanovich Thraxski. Philby, of course, carried with him, along with many other items of intel, a list of hundreds of members of the anti-communist penguin underground in Eastern Europe compiled by communist front organization, Penguin Facts; most of these heroic penguins were subsequently either assassinated or executed after brief show trials. So, the mephitic odor that anti-penguin agitators frequently complain about is most likely the result of a guilty conscience manifesting itself in the psychosomatic triggering of their olfactory glands. Points awarded, however, for using the word "clement" in a non-weather context. Posted by: Paco at November 18, 2025 07:37 PM (mADJX) 98

The idea that penguins have ever been anything but communists is so ridiculously far from the truth that your faithful reporter of the facts will need not only a new keyboard, but a new monitor and fresh coat of paint on the wall behind it. Penguins literally live in communes, with an enforced hierarchy learned from years of collusion with the Red Menace. Their self-professed goal of world domination is driven by this and their basic behavior, that of close communal living in polymorphic perversity.

One day, I was sitting at home, threatening the kids, when this tank drives up. One of Dinsdale's boys gets out all nice and friendly like, and says Dinsdale wants to have a talk with me. So, he chains me to the back of the tank, and takes me for a scrape round to Dinsdale's place. Dinsdale's there in the conversation pit with Doug, Charles Paisley the Baby Crusher, a couple of film producers and a man they called Kierkegaard, who just sat there biting the heads of whippets . And Dinsdale says 'I hear you've been a naughty boy, Clement', and he splits me nostrils open, saws me leg off and pulls me liver out. And I tell him 'My name's not Clement', and then he loses his temper and nails my head to the floor.

The Louisiana community is on edge tonight after a local man made a bold, life-threatening decision inside his own home.
According to authorities, the man looked his wife directly in the eyes… and said the forbidden phrase: “You were wrong.” Neighbors report hearing a gasp so powerful it knocked two potholders off the kitchen wall. One witness said the wife’s eyebrows “rose up like storm clouds forming over Lake Pontchartrain.” Police Chief Mrs. Shaw addressed the situation at a press conference, calling the husband’s statement “reckless, brave, and medically questionable.” “It takes extraordinary courage for a man to tell his wife she was wrong,” Chief Shaw said. “Courage… and medical coverage.” Paramedics remain on standby while negotiators attempt to guide the man out from behind the washing machine, where he reportedly dove moments after realizing what he had said. The community has begun lighting candles and sharing stories of other men who attempted similar feats. Most survived, though none remember the event clearly due to “trauma-related amnesia.” Officials urge men statewide: “If you must tell your wife she’s wrong… write it in a note. Then run.” Posted by: rickb223 at November 18, 2025 08:57 PM (E0BEy) 261

Posted by: Skip Their masters are doing so. War is always the last result of evil people trying to hold onto power. They failed to suck the US into Ukraine, the Gaza issue is settling down, and any action taken with Venezuela is likely to be short. Taiwan might have been possible a year ago but with lessons learned on drones, etc. I think that is a bridge too far for an aging Xi.

Posted by: qdpsteve at November 18, 2025 06:35 PM (cQHrm) A soldier *has* *to* accept an order out of military necessity that sends him and his unit into a situation where they will probably, sometimes certainly, all die. Of course they will have "legitimate questions" about that, but it doesn't matter. An Army where everyone is allowed to question orders is one that collapses on any battlefield and loses every conflict. Obedience far beyond what any civilians conceive of as "reasonable" is an absolute requirement. "Sedition" has no meaning in a military context. You either obey the orders of your superior, or you don't. And if you don't then you are in a state of mutiny. Posted by: Tom Servo at November 18, 2025 06:39 PM (uWKK8) 206

"International Law", like say the Law of the Sea, is via treaties. A sovereign govt. ratifies it and agrees to abide by it, and enforces it it's own self, such as any enforcement would be needed in its borders. And that would be the federal govt, not any state or local govt that would do it. So, if anyone was going to be arrested under some treaty or whatever (think of extradition, for instance), it is the feds that do it.

Isn't there some procedural Roberts Rules bullcrap where a vote in the house will sometimes have one "nay" vote for some arcane purpose that has nothing to do with the bill itself, but allows the House to do some other bullcrap or another that they might want to do that they couldn't if it was purely unanimous?

"International Law", like say the Law of the Sea, is via treaties. A sovereign govt. ratifies it and agrees to abide by it, and enforces it it's own self, such as any enforcement would be needed in its borders.
And that would be the federal govt, not any state or local govt that would do it. So, if anyone was going to be arrested under some treaty or whatever (think of extradition, for instance), it is the feds that do it. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 18, 2025 06:41 PM Back when we were stationed in GITMO a Russian cargo ship pulling a string of barges came through the channel one night heading up to Guantanemera when I was out fishing. One of the barges broke loose and grounded on the point by Leeward side. That barge was loaded with construction equipment. I pulled my boat anchor up and raced towards it intending to claim salvage rights as it was in the channel which is considered international waters and it was abandoned. Fvcking security boat beat me to it and waved me off. There was a couple of million $$$$ in equipment on that barge. They came back the next morning and picked it up.

Assuming that you obeyed an unlawful order, you may not be a traitor (depends on the order) but you are guilty of whatever crime you committed as part of obeying the order. But, and this is important to you hypothetical, so is whoever gave the order. Posted by: I used to have a different nic at November 18, 2025 06:50 PM (ExV1e) 254

One of my PoliSci professors used to piss off his lefty students by asserting that there was no international law, because there was no "international 911" to call in order to enforce it.
Funny thing, the closest thing to International 911 is to call the President of the United States (oddly enough, an office currently filled by a certain OrangeMan). No other nation has the resources to realistically enforce international law. Posted by: IllTemperedCur ======= The Neo Realist critique of Kant and his supporters by Kenneth Waltz is that at the end of the day, any enforcement of international law depends on a nation or group of them willing to enforce it by pure power. No power, then no enforcement, and thus no law. There is not some international zeitgeist despite the fever dreams of UN bureaucrats to do so. The older take was that international law were simply customs of behavior between nation states and that treaties were the niceties that ratified understandings much as contract law does. There was not much regard for free floating multinational treaties like the ICC because quite frankly, how many divisions does it have. Posted by: whig at November 18, 2025 07:01 PM (WDjG6) 308

"Sedition" has no meaning in a military context. You either obey the orders of your superior, or you don't. And if you don't then you are in a state of mutiny.
——- Ask all those Nazis at Nuremburg how that defense worked out. “We were following orders” is factually correct, but the Allies forbade that as a defense. One of the things a professor stressed in a history class about all of those atrocities in Germany, is they were legal. I mean sort of - they had the imprimatur of legal-ness to them, all wrapped up and pretty with the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed. We’ve had a taste of the collective hive mind here in recent years. Keep your mouth shut. Don’t make waves, or you’ll get ”cancelled” fired from your job, maybe prosecuted by activist psychopaths in government. The only reason people aren’t thrown into camps is because they yet don’t have the ability to, it certainly isn’t for a lack of desire.

Their ethnic coalitions have disappeared. Their government funding (NGO affiliates) have been neutered. Their theatrical performances and mind-numbing shrieks have been remaindered. And President Trump taunts them every day and every hour.
Mamdani is a classic case of a political neuroses, a Party that has lost its power and its voice, a weakened society ripe for the plucking, and Mamdani figures he's the biggest plucker on the block. Posted by: mrp at November 18, 2025 07:15 PM (rj6Yv) 385

"Ask all those Nazis at Nuremburg how that defense worked out. 'We were following orders' is factually correct, but the Allies forbade that as a defense. One of the things a professor stressed in a history class about all of those atrocities in Germany, is they were legal. I mean sort of - they had the imprimatur of legal-ness to them, all wrapped up and pretty with the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed."

I don't think people realize how serious the Muzz hetting elected is.
He is going to fill NYPD. NYFD , lower level city sdmin positions with other Muzzies. Then when there's trouble, the majority won't respond, or file, etc. This is what happened in Europe. I'm specifically thinking of The Netherlands and Germany, because I have friends there who watched it happen without realizing what was happening, but it was probably the same in France snd other countries, too. I don't think we're voting our way out of this, and I'm not sure the average person has the stomach for what needs to be done. They certainly don't see what's happening.

International law has two components: public IL and private IL.
Public IL is composed of treaties and other conventions adopted by nations among themselves, government to government, or within the framework of overarching organizations such as the UN or the EU. Private IL is composed of contracts between competent parties, like what occurs in commercial transactions between contracting parties from different nations. The former are enforceable by diplomacy or, if all else fails, economic conflict. The latter by conventions like the International Convention on the Sale of Goods, a kind of UCC for international deals, which requires arbitration tribunals to settle disputes. Outside of politics or warfare, there are no other mechanisms available to enforce so-called international law. Posted by: Fritz at November 18, 2025 09:28 PM (k3OpT) 394
The one "Republican" state holding out over redistricting is Indiana.
Posted by: JackStraw at November 18, 2025 06:14 PM (viF8m) == Quite late to the game. Something the locals don't like. First is "orders" from a president of either party. Second, they pride themselves on running the state appropriately. That is how they made it deep red with a super majority in the legislature, with reasonably drawn districts. The population wants it that way. If Trump wanted this done - and we know why and it makes good sense - he needed to realize doing it this way was going to put the local GOP in a world of hurt with their voters. Which is all they care. Trump has been amping up the rhetoric more like first term. He needs to dial it back. He blew it. Posted by: Black JEM at November 18, 2025 11:57 PM (UVyKP) 395

Posted by: rechill at November 19, 2025 10:51 AM (K1zyu) House Votes 427 to 1 to Release Full Epstein FilesThe lone "no" vote was cast by Rep. Clay Higgins, who objected to the trashing of grand jury secrecy and worried about many people named in the files being exposed to unfair publicity. Remember, this is all the unvetted, unverified stuff -- anyone can make any accusation and get it jotted down in a government record. I guess this case is now a matter of such intense public interest that such concerns don't matter. Now it goes to the Senate:Nick SortorI think this will wash out as a net negative for Republicans, because the media will continue ignoring the actual Democrats associating with the convicted pedophile while continuing to insinuate this is a Republican scandal. Despite the fact that if there were Republican names in those files -- especially Trump's -- Obama's and Biden's Angry Democrat DOJ lawyers would have leaked them starting in 2015 and would have kept re-leaking them through this past election. The dog that didn't bark is the telling clue. Leaked emails already show a Democrat group begging for donations for... current Democrat minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, pimping him as "Brooklyn's Barack." This broke two days ago. Heard about it from George Sloppadopoulos yet?
Speaking of Hakeem Jeffries -- he now has a primary challenger from a Mamdani ally.
Of course he's "openly queer." Because queers are so marginalized, of course he'd take every opportunity to advertise that. Meanwhile, Hakeem Jeffries admits that Obamacare is a disaster. He says this in claiming Republicans want to make it worse, but... wasn't this sold to us as the ultimate fix for health care? Update: One reporter actually asked Hakeem Jeffries about Stacey Plaskett and Jeffrey Epstein. "Brooklyn's Barack" did not answer. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Everything else aside, I believe there were some legitimate concerns about the release. Mainly, that some people who were either whistleblowers or cooperating witnesses are going to get outed. Plus you saw what they did to Trump. So I have no doubt that anyone even mentioned in the materials will be tarred with whatever people can come up with. It also seems like the IC was fighting hard not to release some of the materials. I would love to hear about that from The DNI.

Possibly but I doubt it. I mean this is 3d chess and Trump called their bluff. Plus if it does pass and Trump signs it there will be 18 federal judges who will immediately block the release for various reasons.

I suspect bad midterms are built in.
I. The party in power often loses in midterms. (2) Without Trump on the ballot, Republicans aren't terribly well-liked by, well, anyone (including us). c. GOP itself has done nothing to try to appeal to the public, and instead has tried to redistrict its way into retention of a majority in the House. iv. GOTV efforts still underwhelm.

74 John Roberts had multiple opportunities to kill Obamacare for legit constitutional and legal reasons, but saved it every time.
Posted by: Leupold ======= We have long known that a person named John Roberts shows up on an Epstein Island private jet manifest. We do not know whether the John Roberts is Chief Justice, the ABC reporter/anchor named John Roberts, or some other John Roberts. There is also the fact that Roberts and his wife adopted Irish kids from South America but Ireland does not allow its citizens to be adopted by foreigners (big scandal in the 70's and 80's about that). Most recently, suspicions that Robert's clerk, Sheldon Snook, was the source of teh Dobbs abortion opinion leak to his wife-ta da, Mary McCord.

Releasing the files (which like the JFK files have certainly been scrubbed of the most damaging Israel references) doesn't make anything worse. The only thing the posturing and reversals at the behest of Bibi did was to damage Trump politically.
Posted by: TITP ======= Doubtful. More likely Ghislaine was the ones with the IC contacts and Epstein simply moved money here and there for the IC. He was actually pretty involved as a hedge fund manager which gets overshadowed by his pervert nature. My guess is as an asset for the Brits more than anything. The involvement of Andrew and Fergie is why. The Brit secret service thoroughly protects the Royals so allowing Andy to run amuck is more likely something they would feel comfortable with plus they control directly and indirectly a lot of those islands key to moving money inconspicuously around teh world for oligarchs and IC.

The reason Trump didn't want this to dominate the media is because he didn't want this to dominate the media. It's not hard to understand. He had a big part of his 1st term ruined by non-stop Russia collusion bullshit and he didn't want it to happen again.
He wants his accomplishments to be front and center not some 10 year old goat rodeo that will give the media endless opportunity to "just ask questions" despite the story having nothing to do with him.

Jeez is there any major event where it’s not the Joos doing it? Posted by: Its Go Time Donald Eh, its been out there allegedly for JFK not wanting Israelis to make nukes from Dimona and supposedly it was CIA's Angleton who arranged it. But given the CIA had no problems digging up assassins when it needed to, I doubt that Dulles and Angleton would want to bring in uncontrolled foreign assets to do the job in the first place. Plenty of wired up nutjobs and criminally adjacent creeps to do it for them. Most conspiracy theories start with what they are trying to prove and then working backward to weave whatever narrative they want it to be by using the Texas Sharpshooter fallacy to only include evidence that supports their narrative while ignoring or denigrating contrary information.

I'm sorry, no, you don't get to shrug this off. If Obama or Biden we're acting as squirrelly as Trump has, doing everything at every step that a guilty person would do (It's a hoax! Stop talking about it!), you'd think this is a big deal. Gaming-skull big deal. For the record, I don't think there's anything horribly damaging to Trump in there. Probably a bit embarrassing, but not really embarrassing for someone who we already know is a horndog, someone who we actually don't care how much he cheats on his wife.

The hoax, obviously, is that Trump was doing bad things with Epstein. It doesn't matter one bit what the files show just like it doesn't matter 9 years later there isn't a shred of evidence Trump colluded with Putin but there is a ton of evidence it was an entirely made up Democrat lie.
The media still pushed the lie and many if not most Democrats still believe it. They do not care about facts and evidence which should be obvious to everyone. All they care about is finding some lie they can push to damage Trump and the movement. Democrats will believe anything if it helps them win.

At this point, I think that Obamacare should just be repealed and replaced with nothing, like Argentina did for rent controls. All the problems that were the pretext for the Fake Fix are so far in the rearview that an entire generation would just experience relief from fascist oppression, and Republicans would get all the credit.

I just finished watching the Netflix documentary 'Aka Charlie Sheen'. This guy was doing inhuman amounts of crack cocaine that would kill a bull moose. His dealer that would party with him would say that they would stay up for days drinking and doing crack and then the dealer would have to go home and he'd sleep for 2 weeks to recover, go over to Charlie's house and Charlie would still be partying having never taken a break.
Sheen became so insane and manic that he started having sex with men and women and contracted HIV along the way. He said that Cocaine was a highly sexualized drug and the one side of the menu was no longer enough and he had to flip to the other side of the menu to satisfy his lusts. I see all of this the same way - with some rich people with carnal desires, they become bored with with regular life and have to keep taking risks up a notch and keep pushing the envelope in stead of enjoying what they have. After Sheen became diagnosed and sober, he was ripe for blackmail and had to pay off a lot of people who would expose his exploits to the press if he didn't. Now, he doesn't care and that's why he did the documentary and spilled the beans. Posted by: Cheri at November 18, 2025 05:46 PM (oiNtH) 263

I still think the most shady thing about the whole Epstein issue deals with the first arrest back in 2006. Someone in the US Govt. gave the order to drop the underage charges, and also agreed to NPA (Non-prosecution Agreement) and further federal charges without even telling the victims. Palm Beach County did the original investigation, and by all accounts had Epstein nailed inclusive of underage charges.
Then, the guy gets a "work release" sentence where he has to show up at some half-way house in the evenings and on weekends, and there is no documentation of him ever being there. Posted by: Orson at November 18, 2025 05:47 PM (dIske) 271

And you think that will stop Democrats from talking about Epstein and lying about it? Have you been asleep for the last 9 years of the Russia hoax? The left including the media will NEVER stop weaponizing this shit and their mouth breathing followers on the left will also never stop talking about it. And you know it. A Democrat rep was literally texting with Epstein during the Michael Cohen hearing to try and smear Trump and Jamie Raskin excused it as constituent outreach. They don't care about lies. They don't care when their own reps are guilty of the crimes they accuse others of doing. They don't give a shit Bill Clinton went to Pedo Island 2 dozen times. It has nothing to do with facts and evidence, they don't care about any of it. All they care about is having something to beat Trump with because like it or not he's been the most successful Republican president tearing apart their plans.

275 How about Epstein ‘victims’ testifying Trump wasn’t involved. I guess that’s not good enough .
Posted by: the way I see it _____ It's not. The whole point of the Epstein files is that a wealthy elite has been involved with trafficking of minors. That needs to come out, even if it's in a redacted form that protects the truly innocent. And as I said, if it is a hoax, put the actual hoax in front of everyone and point out why it's a hoax. Then put the hoaxters in jail. But it's not a hoax. There's some extremely mildly embarrassing stuff in there for trump, and he's such a control freak that he doesn't want any of it coming out at all. But it's not going to happen so he needs to put his ego aside and get all the information out there. Posted by: Masturbatin' Pete at November 18, 2025 06:15 PM (CKIwv) 343

Posted by: RickZ at November 18, 2025 06:16 PM (gKDq2) Leaked Emails: Epstein Despised Trump (But Had Warm Relations With Democrats!)The media is running cover, of course. Byron York writes about the Democrats' complete lack of interest in Democrats who visited Epstein's Pedo Island, while screaming about Trump, who never visited the island. He recaps an old article by the blackmail enthusiast Michael Wolff, noting all the names of Democrats who did not break with Epstein even after his conviction for trafficking. Foremost not among them: Donald Trump. The article is a long list of people who hung around with post-prison Epstein. Microsoft founder Bill Gates, "for whom Epstein has become a key adviser," was helping Epstein deal with his image problems. Mort Zuckerman, "the real estate billionaire and owner of the Daily News." PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel. Lawrence Summers, the former Treasury Secretary and president of Harvard University. Ehud Barak, the former prime minister of Israel. Then-Qatari Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim. The lawyer Reid Weingarten. Thorbjørn Jagland, then-head of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee. Nathan Myhrvold, a former top executive at Microsoft. Harvard professor Martin Nowak. Richard Axel, a Nobel Prize winner. Investment fund manager Ron Baron. Josh Harris, owner of the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Devils. And then: "A high ranking official from the Obama White House, whose name I am asked not to use." They all came to Epstein's house in New York. "These meetings, and this lifestyle, have somehow stayed private or secret -- or apart -- not out of any formal or stated restrictions, but because, in some sense, it would be very hard to explain just what you're doing there with a brazen sex offender in a guffaw-inducing home flaunting all moderation," Wolff wrote. "And yet, defying disgrace, and tolerating his tone deafness -- or mocking attitude toward the zeitgeist -- so many come. Gladly. Willingly. Feeling that his invitation is quite an extraordinary privilege."He could also have named Katie Couric and George Sloppadopoulos, but I guess he thinks he can still break into real media and wants to protect his leftwing media fellow travelers. .. Given today's political situation and the things Wolff has been saying recently, here is something interesting. Out of all the names dropped, one is conspicuously absent: Donald Trump. The billionaire developer, reality TV star, and future president, who had a falling out with Epstein around 2004, did not even merit mention as a former friend. Wolff saw fit to name former President Bill Clinton as absent, but Trump, who at that point had not yet entered national politics, was just not there. Some years later, of course, after Trump became president, his adversaries saw Epstein, like they once saw Russia, as an opportunity to bring him down, and the Epstein story became all about Trump. But in 2014, when Epstein was alive and active and Wolff wrote the profile, Trump wasn't part of the picture.Of course, the Epstein emails do contain frequent mentions of Trump -- as his mortal enemy, who he believed was behind his arrest for trafficking. York again: "Your world does not understand how dumb [Trump] really is," Epstein wrote to former Treasury Secretary and Harvard President Lawrence Summers in May 2017, Trump's fourth month in office. When, in July 2017, former Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler wrote, "Trump is truly stupid," Epstein replied with a one-word answer: "Duh." In an exchange with New York Times reporter Landon Thomas, Epstein wrote that Trump was "evil beyond belief," and that he, Epstein, had tried to warn the world about his former friend. "I told everyone from day one," Epstein wrote. "I know how dirty Donald is," Epstein wrote to Ruemmler in August 2018. "My guess is that non-lawyers, NY biz people have no idea." Then Epstein boasted to an unknown recipient in December 2018: "I am the one able to take him down." Meanwhile, Epstein exchanged long emails with adviser Michael Wolff in which Wolff offered Epstein counsel on trying to damage Trump, blackmail Trump, and possibly run him out of office. It would be an understatement to note that Trump was living rent-free in Epstein's head. "The emails suggest that Trump remained a fixation for Epstein," CNN wrote, "as he's frequently mentioned numerous times over a span of nearly a decade -- including long after their friendship ended." By the way, remember when Elon Musk, breaking with Trump, breathlessly announced that Trump was "in the Epstein files"? Of course Trump is in the Epstein files; he's all over this set of Epstein files because he was so deeply in Epstein's head. Trump will be in other Epstein files, too, because Epstein apparently could not stop thinking and talking about him. Finally, one problem with reading the Epstein emails today is that Epstein was, in the words of one recent assessment in the Atlantic, a "notorious liar." It is reasonable to take Epstein's statements of opinion at face value -- he appeared to really think Trump was dumb -- but not his statements of fact. So when Epstein says that victim Virginia Giuffre "spent hours at my house with [Trump]," there's no compelling reason to believe him. Giuffre, now dead, wrote a book that said no such thing about Trump and also testified under oath that Trump "didn't partake in any sex with us ... [and] never flirted with me." Giuffre said she never saw Trump and Epstein together. She was asked, "Did you ever see Donald Trump at Jeffrey's home?" and answered, "Not that I remember." In addition, she said she did not remember seeing Trump at Epstein's island, or his house in New Mexico, or his house in New York.The Democrat-Media Party has a Hot Take on Epstein's hatred of-- not friendship with, hatred of -- Trump. That take? "If even Jeffrey Epstein (the notorious liar, note) says that Trump is bad, then Trump must be very, very bad." They seem incapable of understanding that if Epstein hated Trump, and considered him the worst man on the planet, and also had information about Trump engaging in criminal activity with underaged women, then of course he would have leaked that information. Therefore: Epstein had no such information about Trump. The media which thinks it is so smart that it is the only institution in the world capable of reading information and drawing conclusions for it still can't wrap its stunted little brain around that conclusion. Instead, we get this: "Leave aside" the question of whether there's any evidence Trump was a client of Epstein. Just look at how many times he's "in" Epstein's emails! As York points out: Yes, he's mentioned by Epstein, as an enemy. But unlike dozens of Democrats, there are no emails in which Trump speaks with Epstein. ![]() One would expect that such a story would dominate the headlines and the talk shows, especially given the Democrats' months-long, full-court press on the Epstein Files. The Protection Racket Media has other ideas about what makes news in the Epstein case, as [Newsubsters'] Jorge Bonilla discovered watching the Sunday news shows:The media is asking Plaskett zero questions, but one citizen got through on the CSPAN lines and did ask about her servicing her pedophile patron:The wagons didn't just circle around Plaskett on television. Straight Arrow News did some research on the coverage of the story, and found that -- with a handful of exceptions -- the Protection Racket Media did its best to shut the story down...

"Democrats started this mess by releasing select emails they thought would damage Trump" They weren't thinking it would damage Trump. They were getting ahead of the story and creating a narrative about it. They were shaping the reality of the Epstein emails for their True Believers and the MSM (birm) and for AI that will read all the articles written by their True Believers and the MSM (birm). No amount of corrections or emails now released will change that narrative. It is eternal. It is set in the minds of the Left that Trump had great relations with Epstien and helped him hunt down girls. It will be in the Wikipedia page on Epstien, it will show up on the top in web searches and in AI hallucinations. That is why they released the stuff early.

People: Jeffrey Epstein’s Brother Claims He Heard ‘from a Pretty Good Source’ That Epstein Files Are Being Scrubbed of Republican Names
If there are any Republican names in them, my guess is they will already be dead. Or chosen scapegoats...probably those that didn't back Trump 100%. The originals will be leaked and will expose this. At some point someone will need to ask why "National Security" has a political bias. It’s amazing how willing people are to go to jail for tampering with evidence when the truth comes out. Complying with an illegal order is not a protected act. Nuremberg trials prove this. They’re convinced Dems will never be in power again because they will do everything in *their* power (i.e. lie cheat and steal) to keep Dems out This is like when a gambling addict keeps losing and insisting "DOUBLE OR NOTHING". At this point they're fucked all the way down, might as well keep playing the game till the house refuses you anymore credit.

If we think for a minute we will change anyone on the left’s mind, we are silly. The mental gymnastics required won’t even matter, they simply cannot see outside of their narrative. This is why Dems can be serial killers and it no longer matters. It’s a very topsy turvy world.

" if Epstein hated Trump, and considered him the worst man on the planet, and also had information about Trump engaging in criminal activity with underaged women, then of course he would have leaked that information"
---- Regardless of his own animosity towards Trump, Epstein had every reason to curry favor with Democrats that were looking for anything with which they could attack Trump. So yeah, that would have 100% leaked. Posted by: Bill Ackman at November 18, 2025 03:47 PM (1Nv0l) 60
Now that MTG has taken the side of Democrats will she come down hard on them when they are named in the Epstein files or will she just move on to another conspiracy theory about Trump.

It's odd -- although maybe not -- that all the participants in these kinds of sex-ring scandals are Democraps and leftwing academics. It must be that these fetid sleazebags can't get laid any other way.

MTG is a sad case. She came to Trump wanting to run for state wide office in GA. He showed her polls where Osoff was beating her (like a rented mule ?) by like 2000 points, and she barely had a two digit approval rating (this was even before she dropped her mask, shown how batshit she is, willing to blow the View for votes). That is when she went all anti-Trump.

Trump strikes me as a fairly intelligent person. He's had all the poon he's ever wanted, all over the world. I have to imagine he knew what trouble he could have gotten in if he took Epstein's gifts.

Lego is releasing its first-ever Star Trek -inspired model with an incredible recreation of the signature ship from the ‘80s TV series.
Made from 3,600 pieces, the Lego set is of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, the spaceship that serves as the main setting of Star Trek: The Next Generation series, which ran for seven seasons, as well as the 1994 film, Star Trek Generations. It "allows builders to craft a detailed replica of the iconic starship, complete with a detachable command saucer, secondary hull, and warp nacelles with distinctive red and blue detailing,” according to a press release from Lego. “The model also features an opening shuttlebay and two mini shuttle pods, perfect for recreating classic scenes.” The set comes with nine mini-figures of Star Trek: The Next Generation characters, including Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Commander William Riker, Lieutenant Worf, Lieutenant Commander Data, Dr. Beverly Crusher, Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge, Counsellor Deanna Troi, Bartender Guinan, and the show's star, Wesley Crusher. Figurines also have some themed accessories, like an engineering case, phaser, or portable tractor beam generator.

I knew MTG was crazy as soon as she came on the scene. I'm shocked there were people that bought into her schtick.
Posted by: Leupold at November 18, 2025 03:56 PM (eIzlH) --- I didn't "buy into her schtick". But she was enthusiastic and talked a good game. Once she starts shilling for the other team, it doesn't change anything she did in the past, but it does make he reconsider her ongoing usefulness. It's not a hard calculation. If you look moment by moment, "Is she helping the team"? Of course, "the team" has to remain worthwhile to care about that. But simply the possibility that somebody might be implicated in files they are not slow-walking ain't it, especially when Trump promises to deliver so much more in the next 3 years. However, I stand vindicated. I put the "Epstein Files" on the back burner of concern because I had reasonable confidence that they would eventually be released. It paid off, chilling and trusting in Trump. Everybody else has at least a little egg on their face. Posted by: Axeman at November 18, 2025 04:04 PM (krQz2) 173

141 The Blade never trusted MTG. She always seemed to me like a social-climbing opportunistic half-whore dingbat who would sell her mother to Mexican sex cartels if she thought it would improve her polling.
I saw in her the same things I saw in all the high school girls who seemed OK at first, maybe even said the right things, but you could just tell there was pathological ego and ruthless ambition behind their eyes. Posted by: Elric The Blade at November 18 I think she believes her state has rigged elections, because they do, so she is running to the side that rigs. She can say “I told you so” at the end, or she hopes. I also think she spoke to the Gov who said MAGA doesn’t play well state wide in GA, so being the highly ethical person she is, she is changing everything about herself to fit the mold. Someone should ask her about weather lasers and her current views on them. Posted by: Piper at November 18, 2025 04:07 PM (OoFl2) 191

They seem incapable of understanding that if Epstein hated Trump, and considered him the worst man on the planet, and also had information about Trump engaging in criminal activity with underaged women, then of course he would have leaked that information.
Therefore: Epstein had no such information about Trump. ________ That is deductive, syllogistic thinking. So it must be wrong. Listen to Ms Plaskett's truth. Posted by: Eeyore at November 18, 2025 04:18 PM (s0JqF) 243

This just in from CNN: Anonymous sources reported that War has broken out early this morning between Texas and Oklahoma along the border formed by the Red River. It has been reported that the Okies were throwing dynamite sticks across the river in an all out assault. The Texans quickly responded by lighting the dynamite sticks and throwing them back. So far, it is unknown if there are any casualties from this skirmish except for one unfortunate duck that was hit while swimming desperately to the wrong side. It won’t go to waste though as the Okies will have it for Thanksgiving dinner. More details as they become available.

120 MTG is a sad case. She came to Trump wanting to run for state wide office in GA. He showed her polls where Osoff was beating her (like a rented mule ?) by like 2000 points, and she barely had a two digit approval rating (this was even before she dropped her mask, shown how batshit she is, willing to blow the View for votes). That is when she went all anti-Trump.
--------------- Women are known to be rational. Posted by: SH (no more socks) at November 18, 2025 03:55 PM (sX1BW) ____________________________ I can't help noticing that just before MTG's recent public change that she made a really non-sequitur remark at some press conference. I don't recall the topic of the press conference, but she said "If the authorities say I committed suicide, know that I did NOT commit suicide." (paraphrase). There was no context for the comment, and at the time everyone thought she was a bit unhinged, but she hadn't started doing what she is doing now. I wonder what the context was on that comment.

This just in from CNN: Anonymous sources reported that War has broken out early this morning between Texas and Oklahoma along the border formed by the Red River. It has been reported that the Okies were throwing dynamite sticks across the river in an all out assault. The Texans quickly responded by lighting the dynamite sticks and throwing them back. So far, it is unknown if there are any casualties from this skirmish except for one unfortunate duck that was hit while swimming desperately to the wrong side. It won’t go to waste though as the Okies will have it for Thanksgiving dinner. More details as they become available.

Of course Epstein considered Trump very bad and or dumb. Trump was not interested in joining Epsteins "having sex with very young, possibly younger than legal women" club and even kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-largo or whatever club because of the trafficking young girls.
Trump was not sophisticated enough to want to join that elite pedo club, in the eyes of these elite perverts, that is as bad as putting ketchup on steak Posted by: PaleRider at November 18, 2025 04:37 PM (hhkIi) 324

Once when we were in an accident and got rear ended by a guy doing 75+ in a 25 zone and the suicide doors flew open and me and my brother were ejected from the car, no seat belts then. The other time was when I got my sinuses crushed by a line drive baseball that I did not see coming. But other than that it was like you said, bactine, iodine and bandaids.

At The Bee:
JERUSALEM — In a development which many see as an irrefutable sign of the impeding end times, biblical scholars and historians have reached a consensus that the Number of the Beast is actually 67. The decision comes after a newly reevaluated analysis of Revelation 13:15-18, which contains a famously difficult-to-interpret number, which most translators have rendered as "666." New insight, however, indicates that the proper translation choice should be "67." Posted by: rickb223 at November 18, 2025 04:57 PM (4L0hq) 398
Trump was dumb, evil, and must be taken down by Epstein because he couldn't be bought, blackmailed, coerced, honey-potted, or otherwise compromised. That to Epstein was an abomination from this billionaire real estate developer who had also had him removed from Mar-a-Lago because Trump had surmised what Epstein was all about and it wasn't just about pedo island.
A much shorter version - if they had anything on Trump, it would have been used years ago. They have bupkis. Posted by: Cheri at November 18, 2025 04:59 PM (oiNtH) 399

Over the weekend, ICE agents deported illegal alien Eduardo Flores-Ruiz of Mexico. Flores-Ruiz crossed the southern border in 2013 and was apprehended by Border Patrol agents in Nogales, Arizona. He was swiftly deported to Mexico, but illegally crossed the border again, a felony. Flores-Ruiz also faced charges for strangulation and suffocation, battery, and domestic abuse.This is what I call a "full-spectrum cultural enricher." Video of that below the fold. If it actually posts. Cloudflare is causing all sorts of outages. I never mentioned it, but back in late August a federal judge denied Dugan's motion to dismiss on grounds that as a judge she can do wha'ever she want. No bias detected. Hint: She wasn't arrested for "being antatgonistic to increased deportation efforts."

I posted this below, but I'll post it here again.
Here's another clown judge issuing another clownface ruling: NY clown judge dismisses the fed case on NY law that forbids ICE from arresting at courthouses as it impedes federal law enforcement. Dumb bitch is all "NY is not attempting to regulate federal agents and is not prohibiting the federal government from enforcing immigration law. Rather, it is simply defining, as a proprietor, what activities are not permissible in state-owned facilities." Oh? Oh? That's a neat way to say "fuck you" to the Supreme Court, a bunch of precedent and the Constitution, isn't it? Let me write it correctly: "We're not saying the feds can't enforce federal law, we're just saying they can't enforce it in New York."

So the basis of the Obstruction case against the Judge is she purposefully cleared an escape route for the illegal by pulling all the Feds into the Chief Judge's office.
I'll tell you why she's screwed. The Chief Judge will roll on her stating that he/she had no idea what she was up to, and that the Chief Judge had no reason/request for meeting with the ICE agents. I'm sure the Chief Judge approved of her actions, but he's not going to put his own ass in the ringer to protect her. Posted by: Orson at November 18, 2025 02:34 PM (dIske) 21

In the1790’s during the Whiskey Rebellion about 12,000 people in the state of Pennsylvania attempted to revolt against federal authority. In response, George Washington sent about 13,000 federal troops, assembled them in Carlisle and personally took charge of the detachment. He then called in the leaders of the rebellion and said they could either stand down or be crushed.
They chose to stand down. That’s the precedent for handling challenges to federal power like this one. I am sick of unelected judges usurping the people’s power. It’s time for that to end. Grow a set. Posted by: Marcus T at November 18, 2025 02:36 PM (iVCFV) 32

It really does amaze me how badly these clown judges are destroying the reputation of the judiciary.
It's like they read "consent of the governed" to mean " but not as to us because we went to law school." The Shipwrecked fellow has a long post on just how absurdly fast the clown judges are moving to rule against Trump. We're talking in 90 days or so. On a docket where average cases are 2+ years from start to finish. They are destroying everything to stop the inevitable. See also the TX ruling. The key fact there is, they've been sitting on this ruling for months. But the release is timed because the deadline to declare for next year is December 8.

Five youngsters have been arrested in a sleepy suburb for a disturbing TikTok trend that has frightened homeowners across the US. Those detained in Elk Grove, California, included two 13–year–olds, police said. The children were taken into custody after partaking in the so–called 'door kick challenge' - a TikTok trend in which teenagers sneak up to a person's property and smash in their front door. Footage, released by police, showed the two youths, one in a ski mask and the other with his hood up, backing into a front door before booting it at full force and running away.

Five youngsters have been arrested in a sleepy suburb for a disturbing TikTok trend that has frightened homeowners across the US. Those detained in Elk Grove, California, included two 13–year–olds, police said. The children were taken into custody after partaking in the so–called 'door kick challenge' - a TikTok trend in which teenagers sneak up to a person's property and smash in their front door. Footage, released by police, showed the two youths, one in a ski mask and the other with his hood up, backing into a front door before booting it at full force and running away.

So, in summary: Courts won't let Red states redistrict (unless it benefits Democrats, like in Utah), but will let Blue states redistrict; a significant number of Trump voters won't show up for an election without Trump on the ticket; which together guarantee that the Democrat-Communists take back the House next year; which means the last two years of Trump's Presidency will be an absolute shit show with nothing getting done; which pretty much guarantees the Democrat-Communists will take back the Presidency, the House, and possible the Senate in 2028; which the Democrat-Communists have repeatedly and strenuously stated will be end of the country as we know it.

Setting your hair on fire > ice bucket challenge > tide pod challenge > door kick challenge
I was one of those sticks in the mud that refused to do the ice bucket challenge. I didn't care if it was for a good cause. I'm not a performative lemming that has to follow socially compelled group conforming masochism and humiliation rituals, just to feel part of something bigger than myself. With the escalation of these stupid challenges on social media, I feel even more justified in my opinion. Posted by: LizLem at November 18, 2025 02:57 PM (gWBY1) 157

That being said, if it's a unit for unit swap, it's really not all that difficult. Just a bit cumbersome as you have to lay down, reach and use some tools. And, some lifting/pushing to get things out and back into place. Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at November 18, 2025 02:55 PM (Zz0t1) Some of the newer dishwashers don't have jack shit worth a room to work under. You used to have around 6 inches of space. The new one I put in the new kitchen here probably had less than 3. Everything gets connected outside of the space, the drain hose, the braided water line, and the electrical, but these days they want an electrical outlet in the sink base with an actual plug coming from the dishwasher. Not sure if it depends on the area where one lives. Back in the day it was illegal to use an outlet, and now they frigging want one. It used to be easy. I probably hooked up 100 dishwashers in my time when I was doing kitchens. Lots of room, no problem. This new one I couldn't even get my hands under it.

Majority rule is a bedrock principle of our Republic. Dems love majority rule when they are in the majority. They hate majority rule when they are in the minority.
Posted by: mrp at November 18, 2025 02:58 PM (rj6Yv) --- Actually, if you look at the Constitution, the #1 idea is a union of sovereign states giving up a portion of their sovereignty to cohere. It's definitely "majority rule" within states, and the states generally mandate that each municipality also operates under majority rule. But at the state-to-federal level, it gets different. States themselves were to be the parties of the "upper house". And Dems have a problem with the lack of majority rule anytime they can't win that either. Democrats are only fit for a one-party state.

I'm looking up the Tajiks on various online encyclopedias, including Wiki. They're Persians. The name "Tajik" appears to be something the Turks stuck onto them. Which makes sense, because their roots are in the Tayy / Tajj tribe of Arabia, we're always seeing "Tayyaye" and "Tachik" in Syriac and Armenian respectively.
To the elder Turks, every Muslim townsman or trader was a Tajik, I guess. Posted by: gKWVE at November 18, 2025 03:25 PM (gKWVE) 252

Sure sure. "Trust the plan." Expect the machinations of democracy to course-correct in the wake of a SCOTUS decision that hasn't happened yet. I remember what Dennis Miller said "The left actually won when Trump got elected." And they did. He's stalled a few things, but his inflammatory handling of everything sets them up for "saving democracy" even more.

Posted by: Tamaa the Drongo Bird at November 18, 2025 05:42 PM (wGqjj) Clinton's Secretary of the Treasury, Harvard Professor Larry Summers, "Steps Back from Public Life" After Revelation He Sought Jeffrey Epstein to be His "Wingman" In His Seduction of the Daughter of a Red Chinese Banking ExecutiveThis is somehow connected to Drumpf, I just know it!!! Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers in a statement Monday said he would be stepping back from public life and expressed deep regret for past messages with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in the wake of new revelations about the extent of their relationship. "I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused," he told POLITICO. "I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein. While continuing to fulfill my teaching obligations, I will be stepping back from public commitments as one part of my broader effort to rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me." Emails revealed that Summers, who served as Treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton and a top adviser to President Barack Obama, repeatedly sought advice from Epstein on romantically pursuing a woman he referred to as his mentee. Epstein in one message referred to himself as the prominent economist's "wing man." Summers in another exchange suggested women in aggregate have a lower IQ than men. Summers' comment comes after a senior Trump administration official and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) each called on institutions to sever ties with Summers. The statement leaves question marks hanging over the fate of several positions Summers occupies, which include a board seat at OpenAI, a tenured position at Harvard, an unpaid nonresident fellow position at the liberal Center for American Progress think tank and a paid contributor role at Bloomberg News. A Summers spokesperson declined to answer a direct question about those roles.Politico refuses to name the woman he was trying to seduce. It was Jin Keyu, a professor in China, and daughter of a major figure in Chinese banking. Matt Stoller Matt StollerIs it "awkward"? Some might call it efficient. Flashback to a Charlie Kirk tweet from July 25: Trump tells a reporter, "You ought to be talking about Larry Summers.... or Bill Clinton, who went to the island 28 times. I never went to the island." Trump said yesterday: "We have NOTHING to do with Epstein. The Democrats do. All of his friends were Democrats. Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, Bill Clinton. They went to his island ALL THE TIME. All Democrats." But asking Bill and Hillary Clinton about their repeated trips to Pedo Island will be difficult: They're refusing to testify. They cite no justification for doing so, they're just refusing. Rep. Anna Paulina LunaRemember when Peter Navarro refused to testify and Joe Biden sent him to prison? Drew HoldenThe House is voting soon to release all the secret Epstein grand jury materials. The flake traitor "libertarian" Tom Massie is outgassing right now. Trump asked the House to vote in favor of the release. I'll be posting more about the Epstein disclosures -- and the media's refusal to cover them -- later today.

The blackpill is in understanding that these were the good Democrats.
Summers was the last sane president of Harvard. Clinton's Presidency was about as economically Right was Cleveland's i.e., it didn't suck. Reid Hoffman however douchey he is personally is at heart a capitalist. Epstein was arguably trying to keep the Democrats from being what they are now, which is a violent paramilitary.

I don't know what is more pathetic and gay: that this creep Summers was perving on some rando lady who was his subordinate, or that he solicited advice from Jeffrey Epstein on how to do it. Imagine going to Epstein -- Epstein! -- for advice on how to pick up chicks. The creepy cringe factor is off the charts. Like, skin-crawling shit.

Uh, what's that at the top? "trump - borderline insane. dersh, a few feet from the border but not by much"? That would be from Epstein? Byron York did note that Trump lived rent-free in Epstein's head, probably because he was obsessed after Trump banned him and resented the hell out of Trump's success.

(Saw on X "Marjorie Traitor Greene did not make a single post about the Epstein files during the Biden Administration. Not one. But she has posted about it 31 times since Trump took office. Thomas Massie posted about it 2 times during the Biden Administration. He has posted about it 100 times in the first 10 months of Trump’s 2nd term. 100 times. Yeah. It’s totally about the victims and identifying ped0s. I mean, he let these mysterious, unnamed ped0s free to victimize children for another 4 years during Biden’s presidency, I guess.

Wasn't there a lot of hanky-panky involving the Chinese back during Clinton's term? And not the naked kind Billy-Boy likes.
They somehow got one of the better trade status agreements with the US, despite not fulfilling the requirements for such. Things like not using slaves, etc. And there were the shady donations to democrats. Funny enough, it was even reported on back then, but I don't remember anything actually coming out from it. Almost 3 decades ago. How much of the Democratic party was propped up by the Chinese? Communist Chinese at that? Anyone remember any other "odd" happenings back in the 90's with China, that might now be explained by what we're finding out from these crooks today?

-- Trump sent her--privately, no one else knew--an email with a poll that showed she would lose badly if she ran for the GA Senate seat. I don't think the email said much else. But the clear implication was, you're going to lose, lose badly, and I am not going to endorse you. She blew up and lost her mind b/c she believes that Trump "owes" her the endorsement and that she's sure to win both the primary and the general with it. Trump's instinct, once again, proves correct.

I'm starting to believe there are very few, if any innocent victims. Why are these nine women on Capitol Hill saying they'll name names but don't? I don't buy the NDA excuse. Since when is an NDA enforceable against a crime victim? I also don't buy the fear of reprisal claim. They're in public. The people who abused them know their faces now. Anyone who would be in danger for talking would also be in danger for making it known they intend to talk. So why are they playing coy? How many of these women facilitated the abuse of other women? How many are embellishing their story to feel important? I believe there are victims, but I'm smelling a rat. Posted by: bonhomme at November 18, 2025 01:51 PM (Yp6az) 188

The lawyer for the Epstein victims said that it was Epstein and Maxwell who were the pedos. The others that partook were only offered 18 plus year old females.
These files aren't going to show what most people are assuming they show. Its going to be mostly a disappointment and therefore be declared a coverup by the TDSers.

"I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused," he told POLITICO. "I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein. While continuing to fulfill my teaching obligations, I will be stepping back from public commitments as one part of my broader effort to rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me."
This would normally be a comedy setup in a movie from 20/30 years ago. Politician (In this Hollywood movie the politician would be Republican, natch) gets caught trying to squoink a flunky and there would be a scene in front of the press with this statement verbatim.

This is the Larry Summers who was canceled very early in the woke movement, when he suggested that it might be OK to study differences in the standard deviation of IQ between men and women. That is, men might have a flatter curve leading to more on the upper and lower extremes. This got him canceled because it suggested the scarcity of female super-geniuses in math might be caused by anything other than oppression.

But asking Bill and Hillary Clinton about their repeated trips to Pedo Island will be difficult: They're refusing to testify.

Meanwhile in lesser reported news, roughly 500k illegal immigrant children are effectively missing from the Biden years.
ICE keeps turning up that a lot of them were impressed into sex trafficking by human trafficking organizations around the country and thousands are below 16 years of age. "On August 12, 2025, ICE dismantled a large human trafficking ring in Nebraska, rescuing 27 victims, including 10 children under the age of 12, from conditions involving sexual exploitation and drug trafficking operations. Five illegal aliens were charged with conspiracy to engage in labor and sex trafficking, and 14 additional individuals were taken into custody for living alongside the victims. In a separate operation in Florida from May 2 to May 10, 2025, a joint undercover effort led to 255 arrests related to prostitution, solicitation of minors, and child exploitation, with ICE lodging 30 detainers against individuals from Venezuela, Cuba, Honduras, Mexico, Haiti, Colombia, Guatemala, and Brazil. In Wisconsin, on September 25, 2025, ICE arrested 24 illegal aliens linked to a transnational human trafficking ring including individuals convicted of child sexual abuse Posted by: whig at November 18, 2025 02:10 PM (WDjG6) 276
I'm sure there's plenty of embarrassment all around, including the victims. Epstein's operation was apparently multi-level marketing for THOTs and yacht girls. The girls themselves have said they were paid not only for sex, but also to recruit their friends into the sex ring. This is a reason the original case in FL collapsed. I'm sure there were a few genuine victims, but the vast majority of these girls were paid and kept going back for more.

Posted by: Its Go Time Donald My personal guess is Epstein was an asset of British security services. Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's father was used as such by MI-6 to get close to Leonid Brezhnev back in the day. Also why Randy Andy might feel safe to engage in his proclivities with Epstein if that was the case as the Brit security services have always kept a close eye on the Royals. That being said, Ehud Barak apparently was a visitor at Epstein's NY townhouse several times. My personal guess is that Epstein was engaged in moving money around as a hedge fund manager for the intel community and wealth individuals. Posted by: whig at November 18, 2025 02:15 PM (WDjG6) 293
Trump and his allies spent a lot of time talking about the Epstein files and ragged on Biden for not releasing. Then they did the same thing and didn't release. Which made it at best hypocritical and at worst oh he’s hiding something. They own goaled themselves .

Posted by: Tom Servo ======= In this case, he was just honest. He mentioned why he did not push for full release months ago mentioning innocent people being smeared. My guess is that he is tired of the Massies and MTGs using the issue to derail important policies and is willing to let the fur fly now to shut the Dems and their allies down. Basically the Massies, media, and the obnoxious influencers on the internet, and the Dems have all FAFO. Posted by: whig at November 18, 2025 02:26 PM (WDjG6) 346

He claimed that despite such orders almost never being granted -- he admitted it was "rare" -- he felt that James Comey's rights "outweighed" the standard guarantee of grand jury secrecy. This lowly Democrat magistrate searched desperately for some kind of infraction on the part of the prosecutor that he could claim was serious enough to justify this "rare" step. This partisan magistrate claimed there were "misstatements of law" in the grand jury case, which is common, which is why it is "rare" to invade grand jury secrecy, even on behalf of a politically-connected, Deep State protected accused. But ah, how that changes when James "No Intent/8647" Comey is in the dock.ShipwreckedcrewBear in mind, grand juries are entirely one-sided, prosecutor-controlled affairs, with no opposing counsel or judge to bring up misstatements as they occur, so these are common and usually not something judges -- or even lowly magistrates -- pitch a fit about. Mike DavisHalligan filed for an emergency stay, which was granted. This doesn't mean the matter is settled, just that the government is now afforded the opportunity, which the lowly magistrate didn't think they should have, to rebut the insane claims of the defense. And an actual judge will take a look at the lowly bureaucrat-magistrate's shoddy work.

What I posted yesterday:
"One of the remarks, the judge said, implied that Comey does not have a Fifth Amendment right to decline to testify at trial, which may have led grand jurors to believe that it is Comey's burden, not the government's, to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt." The remark was, NO DOUBT, about how Comey was required to testify truthfully before CONGRESS. Someone may have slipped and said the word "trial" instead of "congress". The whole case hinges on whether he lied to congress, so no doubt someone said, "can he lie to congress?" The second concern is preposterous - the jury saw three charges and rejected one so they redrafted the charging document with two of the three charges. The jury doesn't have to then vote on THAT. Not typically. Both excuses are absurd. The main problem is Comey is very obviously utterly guilty. He definitively lied to congress, more than once. His own words prove it - it requires no testimony from anyone. He literally said, under oath "I never did this thing" then wrote e-mails describing how he did that very thing. Open and shut case.

Posted by: El Mariachi - Attorney at Law at November 18, 2025 12:38 PM (s/0Zp) 69
Positive development, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. Judge Nachmanoff is another Biden appointee and almost surely a leftwing nut.
As I mentioned yesterday, my read is that Halligan did whatever she had to do to get a reluctant GJ to indict a guy that is probably a hero to most in the area. That doesn't necessarily make the indictment infirm, as prosecutors do a lot of bullshitting and possibly even lying to GJs.

The pro se prisoner suits. I can't imagine how much time is wasted on those.
Posted by: Biff Pocoroba Depends, often the thing that upsets the convicts the most is being wrongfully convicted by underhanded prosecutorial means rather than paying the price for crimes they do commit. A lot of prison wardens actually like inmates using the legal libraries to file cases--keeps the inmates busy and out of trouble. Caselaw also requires inmates to be able to access good legal libraries so as to draft their petitions. If I somehow ended up inside, that is what I would probably gravitate toward for self preservation--helping inmates out. Knew a former state AG convicted for misstating how their public relations fund was spent and that is basically what he did inside and after. Helping inmates with their legal issues.

The UK’s Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has recently been exposed for its blatant refusal to release critical data that could reveal a potential link between Covid-19 shots and the nation’s alarming surge in excess deaths.
Scotland's data should a 1% increase in excess deaths AFTER they rolled out the clot shot. There is really no way to look at the data and not attribute it to the clot shot itself.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, seeing life through the shadows with Otto Preminger at November 18, 2025 01:08 PM The problem, as always, is that the legislature is in favor of the judicial orders and against their voters.

We need more direct state involvement. Posted by: TheJamesMadison By the time that amendment was ratified, only a few state legislatures still selected them. Partisan fights leaving vacant Senate seats, massive corruption in state legislatures over selection, and public demands led most states to use some sort of popular vote to select the state's candidates who were then ratified by the state legs. I don't see any groundswell for overturning that amendment. Something that might have more effect is an amendment forbidding people outside of a jurisdiction from donating to that state or district's candidates.

Magistrates are not judges. They are jumped up staff lawyers who are magically, and extralegally granted the ability to make rulings without the actual judge being involved.

Until we can limit the power of the Federal government, I am going to have to oppose this. As long as a Senatorial election in New Jersey can have more effect on my life that the one here in Alabama (and it does since we are just going to get one or another Chamber of Commerce Republican here) I need to be able to participate there.
Posted by: toby928(c) ======= Using that rationale, why ban foreign contributors. If the intention is to make politicians responsive to their constituents, then allowing massive donations outside of that jurisdiction (common among Dems nowadays) essentially screws the people of that state. Contra the idiotic Buckley v. Valeo decision equating money and speech, giving money is an ACTION, not speech itself and nothing says that wealthier out of state donors should have a bigger megaphone than citizens in the state where they are elected.

Let me write it correctly: "We're not saying the feds can't enforce federal law, we're just saying they can't enforce it in New York."
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice And another wearying appeal to higher courts where that judge will be reversed. That particular issue was resolved even before the ACW with enforcement of the fugitive slave law. States cannot deny federal access to state or other facilities for legitimate law enforcement actions. Sanctuary states are in fact unconstitutional by their very nature--whatever you think about immigration, it is clear that enforcement of it is an enumerated federal power that overrides the 10th. A state cannot be commanded to enforce federal immigration law but nor can it hinder the federal government in doing so. Posted by: whig at November 18, 2025 01:27 PM (WDjG6) 343
The judiciary is the liberals unconstitutional gateway to power. It has become a fifth column operating inside the government but outside constitutional limits. It has become answerable to no one, and is wielding unchecked power meant to frustrate and eliminate the people’s will. There isn’t a single person with courage to stop them.
We have seen this playbook before on many places, especially South America. If we do. It remove these judges we won’t have a country or liberty left. The single biggest threat to our republic is the judiciary. Posted by: Vengeance at November 18, 2025 01:28 PM (JDho1) 344

Posted by: LGBTQ+POC, ANTI RACIST HERO at November 18, 2025 03:21 PM (gUQRJ) The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition![]() We have burned already €185 billion, and... our intention is to burn even more. So we finance a country which has no chance to win the war[...] The Bien Pensant will describe Orban as a lackey of Moscow and a corrupt fascist. He is also correct in his analysis of the current situation in Ukraine. And as an additional bona fide, Muslims make up about 0.1% of the population of Hungary. So what does that say about Orban's analysis of geopolitical events? The most ridiculous aspect of this entire pathetic repudiation of the Globalist, United Nations, NATO narrative is that the West is very willing to sacrifice Ukrainian youth in the meat grinder of this war, spend their American-financed peace dividend on arms for Ukraine, but would never dream of sending a single soldier to fight. That's for filthy Slavs to do! And also because their fighting-age men are effete, despise any martial spirit, and simply don't care enough about anything to fight for it! Including of course fighting the Muslim hordes raping their women! Orban is correct. This will end in a Russian victory of sorts, and throwing good money into the quagmire of Eastern Ukraine is laughable, if it weren't also deadly and destructive. The West should push hard for some sort of ceasefire, but expanding the war by sending American offensive weapons to Ukraine is insanity. Yes, that will put pressure on Moscow, but is it the kind of pressure that ends wars? No. The real question is: What does Europe get for its €185 billion? The continuation of the obscene corruption in Ukraine? That speaks ill of the morality of the Western elites. They are willing to sacrifice Ukrainian and Russian youth to keep the graft flowing.

The rebuilding cost of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge has more than doubled, and has a new expected opening of late 2030. The Key Bridge, which collapsed in March 2024 after being hit by a cargo ship, is now projected to cost $4.3 billion to $5.2 billion to rebuild, up from the previous cost estimate of $1.7 billion to $1.9 billion, CNN reported. The bridge was also originally expected to be completed by 2028.

>>For the average family income versus inflated living costs, they have lost ground in real terms in almost every year (other than in Trump's first term) since the mid 1970's. There's no question. But who is really to blame? Did I support a takeover of the school loan program that exploded tuition cost? No, that was Obama, the darling of the younger set. Did I ruin healthcare and drive the price of health insurance through the roof? Nope, Obama again. Did I support unlimited illegal immigration driving up demand for finite resouces?

I don’t agree with fighting for Ukraine or supplying them to fight for free but I have no problem of supplying them to Europeans at cost so they can stop the Russians. Trump offered a very favorable peace and they rejected it. They have Crimea and the Donbass. That should be enough.

The goal now is to exhaust Russia (and Ukraine) so they can't start another.
All those claims of Russia attacking NATO next month or next year or whenever are purely bogus as Russia is approaching having only enough tanks for parades in Moscow. Posted by: SMOD at November 18, 2025 11:09 AM Russia ain't attacking anyone in Europe. Russia has exhausted their inventory of tanks and APC's and is now pulling old cold war 1970s era tanks and APC's out of mothballs and sending them to the front. Cold war storage depots are being emptied and equipment cannibalized to make a few running tanks and troop carriers to be sent to the front. I have seen recent pictures of the fighting and there are wrecked russian T-64 and T-72 tanks along with burnt out BMP-1's stuff that was last used in the 70s and 80s. There was a guy on youtube that was tracking that stuff but I haven't seen him post anything lately. Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at November 18, 2025 11:21 AM (0N4FZ) 89

Posted by: ShainS === I knew some of the folks that designed those programs after teh Wall fell. The original intent was to keep the vast Soviet research facilities involved in all kinds of nefarious chemical, biological, and nuclear weaponry employed so that they did not go hawking their services to the Norks, China, Libya, etc. Senators Nunn and Lugar were some of the ramrods of those policies and spending. Like most government programs and spending, they never end and are eventually morphed into evil activities by the nat sec blob+public health consortium.

I do like the idea of punishing Russia bad enough that they don't decide to try expanding again. But I don't know if they'll learn that lesson. We keep teaching our enemies that if they just hold on, we (the US and the West in general) will get tired and leave. The Vietnamese know it, the Afghans know it, the Algerians know it, and now the Russians are learning it. But there doesn't seem to be any chance of the Ukrainians willing a decisive victory either.

Starting to wonder if the point of funding Ukraine is to bleed Russia too much to stop a straight-up Islamic invasion... Posted by: American Hawkman ======= Putin was stupid from a strategic standpoint and like a lot of Western policy makers, he is stuck in the past trying to return back to status quo. The truth was that Russia was already facing massive issues with demographics before the war as the birth rates and immigration have favored minorities at the expense of native Russians. Now, he is relying on arming/training a bunch of those minorities on the periphery to fight in Ukraine so his power bases in Moscow and St. Petersburg are not affected by the draft/conscription. What could go wrong? Posted by: whig at November 18, 2025 11:36 AM (WDjG6) 151

Disagree with some of the analysis....
First, there's a lot of heavy breathing about protecting Ukraine's borders. Well, why? Why should borders be static after WW2? What about those borders (other than that's where we drew lines on or about that date) is lovely or good? Second, I don't think any government should be sending their young men to war over someone else's problem. If you want to bring back private armies, I'm with you. I think someone with oodles of money (is Soros pro-Ukraine? probably not) should be able to recruit and train up a bunch of folks to go to Ukraine's (or Christians in Nigeria) aid. Third, Russia might win only to the extent they consolidate some small gains. But, generally, I think they're being bled dry. They frittered away all of their industry, and Putin didn't fix the problems that the Soviets induced. The Russia that holds the Donbas will be a fragile shell. Of course, no one else will take advantage of that - because that's not who post-WW2 Progressive foreign policy wonks are. Posted by: GWB at November 18, 2025 11:39 AM (ZIwcu) 168

You are missing a far bigger picture. Do you really think it's just some cosmic coincidence that mass illegal immigration is happening in virtually every western country in the world? Mamdani won in NYC because he dominated with foreign born voters and there enough of them in large cities like NYC to make a difference these days. Call it socialism, communism whatever totalitarian name floats your boat but this phenomenon we are living through is not unique to the US and we aren't bringing a bunch of illiterate 3rd worlders into the US just for cheap labor. This is an invasion meant to topple western society and replace it with rule by elite experts. Spend some time listening to WEF speeches and they will flat out tell you this is the plan.

My problem with Orban's comment is that he, of all people, should know that Putin's goal is not just territory: it's re-establishing the Soviet empire. If Putin swallows up Ukraine (and given Ukrainians' experience under Russian domination, it's no surprise that they're fighting like hell to prevent that), he won't stop there. The Baltic states would be in his crosshairs, as well as the former Iron Curtain nations, including Hungary.
The only outcome that is at all favorable to us and Europe is for Russia to be exhausted to the point that Putin will declare victory and accept a deal for part of Ukraine. Any other outcome will lead to bigger, broader war. Posted by: Nemo at November 18, 2025 12:35 PM (4RPgu) 427

"In a perfect world, Russia would have respected Ukraine's borders (whatever those are!)"
Whatever they are? Gee, I dunno, maybe they're the borders Russia promised to respect back in 1994. "and Ukraine would not have poked the Russian Bear" Yes, it was indeed very provocative for Ukraine to have returned fire at the Little Green Men firing artillery shells at it. "NATO would not have expanded far to the east after the USSR collapsed, instead remaining roughly in Western Europe." It did not do so at gunpoint. It expanded only because Eastern European nations petitioned to join. Recall that NATO is a defensive alliance which, unlike Russia, has never attacked another country in 75 years. The Russians know perfectly well that it poses no threat. (If Orban sympathizes with bogus Russian "fears" of NATO, he should show us the courage of his convictions by withdrawing his country from NATO.)

"James Baker and George Bush the elder would not have "guaranteed" Ukraine's safety in exchange for relinquishing their nuclear arsenal."
Ukraine was issued assurances, not guarantees. However, the world would be much better off right now if the Ukrainians had kept their arsenal, and spent the extra 6 or 12 months needed to remove the security systems that kept the nuclear arms under Moscow's control. "What does Europe get for its €185 billion?" Dead Russians. Dead Russians, who won't be attacking Europe 5 or 10 years after this war ends.

This is damn interesting. Lelong captured the feel of wind and motion in such a simple image. The cape blends into the background with only the fur trim providing a frame. That centers the viewer's attention on the woman's face and hair, the only areas of color. Her expression is pleasant and direct as if she is conversing wth the audience about an enjoyable topic. Very, very effective.
This could be one of those interesting Parisian ad posters we've all seen where posture and simple colors create a dramatic and emotional reaction. Posted by: JTB at November 18, 2025 09:42 AM (yTvNw) 61

Found this yesterday.
Nearly 87% of DFW homes lost value this year, Zillow study finds According to Zillow, 53% of U.S. homes lost value over the last year, and an increasing number of homes are selling for less than their previous sale price. DALLAS — National home values dropped by 53% last year, marking the fastest decline in value since 2012, according to a new study from Zillow. The decline, which was measured between October 2024 and October 2025, is even steeper in Dallas, according to the study. The decline is measured by the home's Zestimate, which is determined by an algorithm that combines public records, user-submitted data, and comparable home sales. In Dallas, nearly 87% of homes lost value this year, the report says. Home value loss has been the steepest in the West and the South, both regions that saw a boom in housing prices and demand during the pandemic. https://tinyurl.com/ywre5xz5 Posted by: rickb223 at November 18, 2025 09:55 AM (6vGEN) 120

That's why I keep wondering where all these "there are no homes" people are. We've got brand new subdivisions coming out our ears.
Posted by: rickb223 -------- Home builders have shifted to building bigger homes with bigger price tags. Average new home has at least 2300-2500 sq feet nowdays. Add in land prices at 50-100k and cost of new construction over $100 per sq ft. As a result, you get starter homes at 400k and above. Due to population growth, the older homes in desirable locations are often bid up to new construction due to favorable school districts. So a dependable income of 80-100k minimum without other debt/unusual expense is required to be comfortable in servicing the mortgage plus not being house poor.

Here's what's been happening in formerly modest but ell-located Denver neighborhoods: 1. Buy sweet bungalow (a lot were SEARs kit homes) for ~$1 million. 2. Demolish it, spend $1 million building generic mcmansion 3. Sell it for $3 million. These numbers are approximate, but the metrics are correct, as described to me by someone in real estate sales here: 1/3 cost of property, 1/3 cost to build, 1/3 profit. They keep building them, so all the previously affordable in-town modest homes become unattainable mansions. Posted by: Lizzy at November 18, 2025 10:13 AM (GbwPZ) 204

Actually, $1M houses typically have at least a butler's pantry, and they definitely have more bathrooms (even if just en suites). That's a lotta plumbing. And of course wiring cost scales more or less linearly by square footage.

1. Buy sweet bungalow (a lot were SEARs kit homes) for ~$1 million.
2. Demolish it, spend $1 million building generic mcmansion 3. Sell it for $3 million. These numbers are approximate, but the metrics are correct, as described to me by someone in real estate sales here: 1/3 cost of property, 1/3 cost to build, 1/3 profit. They keep building them, so all the previously affordable in-town modest homes become unattainable mansions. Posted by: Lizzy at November 18, 2025 10:13 AM (GbwPZ) That sounds exactly right. The WEF/UN plan is to eliminate the middle class so there's just the elites and the slaves, and that certainly helps. Posted by: Ian S. at November 18, 2025 10:17 AM (2ocoG) 226

Posted by: Lizzy at November 18, 2025 10:13 AM (GbwPZ) That’s the exact formula in my ‘hood. It’s an older area, homes range from built in the 1890/ to the 1930s. Most of them have been well maintained and are desirable since we’re downtown and walkable to everything (but no crime which is awesome). However as some homes do fall into disrepair they’re bought for say $500k, another $500k is spent to renovate and then sold for $1.5M. Pretty much SOP. It’s roughly 100% ROI for the contractors (not taking into account buying and selling costs). Not a bad return at all. Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at November 18, 2025 10:18 AM (u9SGQ) 227

>>"We bring in people from foreign countries, and then WE pay to lower the cost of THEIR housing? While people who were born here have to pay higher prices?"

Even RSLs are now about 300k average for the 55 plus crowd and about 1800 sq ft in size with houses about 8-10 ft apart from each other aka semi detached.

The "boomers" didn't give out trophies to all the kids, leftard asshole so-called do-gooders did. So when anyone starts with the generation stuff, you know they're being dishonest if they skirt over the fact that it's always been leftards.

Jackstraw, average annual cost of college tuition and fees
1965-66 $278 public $1,162 private. 2025-26 $10,340 public $39,307 private Average cost of a single home 1965 Average home sale price (in year sold): $21,500 2024 Average home sale price (in year sold): $512,200. ===== Add in cost of cars, etc. 1965--average cost of a new car was $2700, $47401 for 2024. For the average family income versus inflated living costs, they have lost ground in real terms in almost every year (other than in Trump's first term) since the mid 1970's. This is why the yutes are so upset and remind me of the Weimar Republic era. They are looking for someone to blame for declining living standards and willing to look outside of past solutions to use politics to get what they believe should be theirs.

[Trump] didn’t tell her [MTG] not to run [for Senate]. What she didn’t say was that he sent her a poll privately, discreetly, and it had information in it. And it showed her down 20 points to Sen. Jon Ossoff.
In politics, when you want to send a message to someone that you like or that has been an ally, you don’t embarrass them publicly. You privately send them information and show them what the reality is. I think it’s true that he didn’t tell her not to run, but it’s also true that he did her a big favor, which is to show her information that a candidacy statewide in Georgia for her would have been a disaster.

We're the last generation that grew up anything like Boomers but also have had to adapt to the changed conditions that have produced the generations after us.

359 What’s missing from the home affordability discussion is the massive transfer of wealth that is undergoing right now and will continue for the next 10-20 years. All the evil boomers are starting to die and leaving mucho dineros to their millenial kids who now have money to buy homes.
Posted by: Its Go Time Donald ====== Depends. Medical industry is capturing a lot of it as average nursing home costs about 100k per year or more, less intensive memory care units a bit cheaper at 70-75k on average. And costs of medical care not covered by Medicare/Medigap. That care can eat up a lot of money in a very short time span and aging children often have severe difficulties in providing for aging parents. We have massive problems in the West with an aging society, less economically productive, and unwilling to make drastic reforms necessary now before radical change is forced on the situation.

I've been doing some pencil sketching, trying portraits, and have enjoyed many YouTube videos by artists showing technique. Mostly pencil on paper, but I enjoy watching a painting being done, whether with oils or other materials.
Looking closely at this painting, three things strike me. First is the woman's eyes, how well done they are. Next is the technique used to do the almost tranparent veil she has over the hat and then spiraled down to her neck. You see her face through this veil. What technique! Finally, there is the fur lining of the scarf. Wow! is all I can say. Thanks for this one, it's a keeper. Posted by: M. Gaga at November 18, 2025 11:16 AM (zeLd4) 398

checking this page… https://r0ad2v0te77.blogspot.com/ Posted by: HOME PROFIT at November 18, 2025 06:11 PM (22B5n) The Morning Report — 11/18/25![]() 42% of likely voters aged 18-39 who identify as conservative want Democratic Socialist to win presidency, Parents and online videos or podcasts are most likely to influence young Americans to support democratic socialism, 52% said their teachers or professors favored democratic socialism when they attended schoolI don't even want to imagine what the respondents who identified as liberal wanted. Way back in the 1960s, the lower end of the aforementioned cohort had the battle cry Never Trust Anyone Over 30 Bitterly ironic and catastrophic is how many of them reached that age to become academics, the very ones they railed against trusting. Had they only met the same fate as their contemporaries Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, or blew themselves up in Greenwich Village townhouses making pipe bombs as their expression of universal love and brotherhood. How much better off we'd all be. Alas, the Communist myth of utopianism and self-hatred is a hell of a drug. So we're primed to get Mamdani'd right in the neck. Or are we? Decades in the making, Western civilization faces a profound crisis in its political leadership. The problem the West confronts is clear: for too long, Western leaders in Canada, Europe, and the U.S. willfully abandoned the core principles of Western Civilization. They adopted policies that were both foreign and antithetical to the historical civilization of their countries and the societies that their fathers and mothers knew, which had, in fact, nurtured the very leaders who then labored to destroy it. These policies, including multiculturalism and progressivism, were anchored in Marxist-Leninist thought. Their impact has been catastrophic. Their consequence is that the future of Western Civilization is now in the balance. This was done deliberately. The policies had the effect of weakening the Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment core principles of the West. These included intentional and sustained efforts to evict these principles from the public space while opening their borders to mass immigration from non-Western peoples. This has been done so massively and so quickly that most Western European states, including Ireland, France, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and Sweden, are at great risk of destabilization. Importantly, those states that rejected mass immigration, Hungary and Poland, are not. .. The West is thus in the curious position of permitting its statues to be toppled and its civilization destroyed by those who have the freedom to hold the West in contempt, a freedom that was made possible by that civilization. Of course, the West’s enemies do not care about that irony. The point is to destroy the West, and Western freedoms will be weaponized against Western peoples. In the end, it was Western Europe’s leaders who have intentionally and consistently made this situation possible.The focus of this essay is on western Europe but is most certainly applicable to what we are experiencing right here in the good old US of A. And its these leaders who for the most part are or were the cream of the crop of Academia. Some of them, not so much. Monday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said President Donald Trump had caused a “consistent spike in the violence when it comes to politics.” Crockett said, “I believe that we all need to pay attention to Trump and how he acts. He is the cause of all the confusion and the destruction that we have seen in politics. As far as I’m concerned, because it used to be we could disagree, and that was that. I disagree with a lot of Republicans, but it does not necessarily turn violent. Ever since he’s been introduced into politics, we have seen a consistent spike in the violence when it comes to politics.”And yet this urine-saturated lice-infested whorehouse mattress somehow became an elected member of our House of rRepresentatives. Elsewhere, is shit about to get real "down Souse American way" as Carmen Miranda would croon? John Bolton, the inept, egotistical warmongering buffoon reacted to our biggest carrier, the USS Gerald Ford arriving off the coast of South America, with what to me is a Luca Brasi/Johnny Fontaine Godfather reference: “Well, I think the drug smugglers can obviously see what’s happening. It’d be stunning, as they do, that they don’t shift their routes and find other ways to get drugs into the United States. Let’s face it, it’s our demand for the drugs that’s giving them the incentive to try this; they’ll find other ways. But it also shows the confusion in the White House’s objectives. If it’s simply about illegal narcotics, that’s one thing, but it seems to be about overthrowing Maduro. Why else bring the Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group from the European theater to the Caribbean? Trump has now put the gun on the table. The question is, is he going to use it or not?”Either his signature or his brains will be on the paper! Aside from being a communist thug, whose legitimacy as that nation's president is dubious at best, his close strategic ties to both Iran and the Chi-Coms have made his regime a national security threat to both America and our allies in the region. Neither of the aforementioned can be allowed to have any kind of a foothold or influence. Am I looking for a war, no. But flexing of our muscles if done very carefully and intelligently can yield the results we desire and that are necessary. Maduro must indeed go as well as every other Communist regime in South America and the Caribbean, let alone the world. And south of our seemingly reappearing southern border, thank you President Trump, the Mexican people are sick of the narco terrorists and their corrupt government, and are taking to the streets... Is President Trump's show of strength against Venezuelan and Colombian drug traffickers having an unexpected knock-on effect in cartel-plagued Mexico?It's hard not to think that when one sees the intensity of protests like these at the center of Mexico City:In the long term if the pressure is kept up, no doubt it helps our situation at the border, despite most of the violence coming from American leftists attacking our own ICE agents and police. It's a fine thing to defeat communism abroad, but we are going to have to crush the life out of it right here at home before they can crush us. This is not the Democrat party of thirty or even twenty years ago. It is a party determined to transform this nation and destroy the foundations of Western Civilization. Because of federalism and its overwhelmingly successful 250-year history as a capitalist-based constitutional republic, they will never succeed in peacefully transforming the United States into a one-party socialist oligarchy. However, it’s very likely that they will succeed in violently fracturing the nation, fomenting civil conflict, and hastening the death of Western Civilization.

The filibuster will end sooner or later, so conservatives should act now while they have power in the House, Senate, and White House.
With all do respect to the commenters here who hold this same opinion, this is the stupidest thing ever. Erase the filibuster so that uniparty GOP - who can't get shit passed out of the House, which doesn't have a filibuster - can ram conservative priorities through the process and get them enshrined into law... Until the Democrats take power and remove all of them because the filibuster no longer exists. Yay! We get to have the laws in this country whipsawed around as the sheeple lurch from side to side.

The name "Fad" has Arabic origins, meaning "sacrifice" or "ransom", and is associated with selflessness and willingness to give for a greater cause. The name "Fadi", a variant of "Fad", means "redeemer" or "savior" in Arabic, and is commonly used among Arab Christians and Muslims. It reflects qualities of bravery and protection, symbolizing someone who brings salvation.

The origin of the word "fad" dates back to 1834, where it was used to mean "hobby" or "pet project." Its etymology is uncertain, but it may be shortened from "fiddle-faddle" or derived from the French word "fadaise," meaning "trifle" or "nonsense," which ultimately comes from the Latin "fatuus," meaning "stupid".

The pertinent question is, "Who is actually committing the violence?"

I can't begin to tell you the parallels I've come across from how the Democrats were then, and how they are now. The southern D's after Reconstruction were off-the-charts with violence to achieve their goals. As much as I knew about it beforehand, it still astounded me. They are a violent, violent party. They have always been violent. They'll probably always be violent. The violence comes directly from them, then and now. This POS broad can shove it up her false eyelashes and weaves.

I like the various medical cost sharing organizations model. The costs of acute medical care are spread around to all members (plus the administrative vig). This puts skin in the game. They also cherry-pick their members by requiring relatively clean life-style (no profession cliff-divers, or chronically ill, obese, drug addicted or requiring counseling and psychotropics). A lot of the bills we had to help pay were baby delivery. From what I understand, modern health care insurance is akin to auto insurance where "insurance" pays for wear items and your fuel. This is probably the fattest slice of the medical cost pie, with the secondary all of the various administrative grift and overhead.

This is not the Democrat party of thirty or even twenty years ago.
——- Maybe, maybe not. I was reading about the Army Mcarthy hearings in the 1950s, the State Department files, Truman basically confiscated all the background checks and loyalty files of the entire workforce, and wouldn’t let anyone see them. The F.B.I. had the goods on a lot of scurvy characters, they were running ops and made sure Mao prevailed in China, and the loss of 100 million people behind the Iron Curtain, and tried the “limited war” in Korea, and screwed up Hungary, and Cuba, etc. Guys like Henry “Scoop” Jackson, Symington, et al, the kind of Democrat that Republicans profess to love, had access to those files and knew what was what, but in open committee hearings would say exactly something opposite.

"The crisis of legitimacy for the Western elite will be resolved either by crushing their publics by weaponizing the state against them or by heeding their people. The former is happening now. It must end immediately..."
It can't and won't end, immediately or ever, not unless it is forced to. We're beyond the point of an electoral event altering the implacable and self-destructive delusions of the elite. This is what so many of these well-meaning, naively hortatory essays miss. Perhaps because addressing the real issue, i.e., what being "forced to" means in real terms, would risk sounding "far right" (God forbid!). Lincoln understood the crisis he faced when he said "measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful, by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution, through the preservation of the nation."

They're already shooting at us. What's to be done?
We know what's to be done. It is increasingly clear that the ballot box is simply too compromised to be an effective block to the left. And despite her hoodrat-level IQ, Crockett is actually right, for once. Trump is 'the cause of the confusion and destruction" in politics. His election and re-election have forced the left to abandon their soft-pedal, heart-tugging propaganda and resort to violence in a desperate attempt to regain the high ground. For all his faults (and I think he has a great many), Trump is the first man in a long time to punch back at the left in a way that is more than symbolic. I am increasingly convinced that the only way forward for the right is either massive civil disobedience or unrestrained violence.

The Case Shiller index, which avoids distortions due to the "median" home changing across time, shows home prices to have increased at an annual rate equal to inflation plus 0.5%. The problem is wages are too low, but that happens with massive off-shoring. One policy that would help with home affordability would be a return to COVID-era remote work. Trends are going the other way, partly to keep big cities from turning into ghost towns, but remote work seems to me a more moderate policy than the elimination of private property.

The problem is wages are too low, but that happens with massive off-shoring.
Its not a single variable equation as you have it. Also include inflation, increased costs due to regulation and risk, scarcity, and greed (among many other variables) One policy that would help with home affordability would be a return to COVID-era remote work. Trends are going the other way, partly to keep big cities from turning into ghost towns. I don't think management gives a single fuck over a city's decline in tax revenue in their staffing location decisions. but remote work seems to me a more moderate policy than the elimination of private property. If it can be remoted a few miles away, it can be remoted a dozen time-zones away. Posted by: Unknown Drip Under Pressure at November 18, 2025 08:12 AM (/TiS1) 140

I have always wonders if regular checkups really accomplish anything other than a bill.
Posted by: r hennigantx at November 18, 2025 08:06 AM (gbOdA) My regular checkups consist of the same blood tests which show the same things which allow the doctor to tell me, once again, that I should take drugs which I refuse to take and then bill me. At least for me, "regular checkups" does not equate to what I remember as being a physical. I assume that's a result of regulations associated with Obamacare and desire to spread things out into as many office visits as possible to pad billing on the part of the doctor's organization.

High "death taxes" to prevent the continued concentration of wealth into generational oligarch families like in 3rd world countries??
That certainly will crush the family farm, ranch or business. The patriarch dies and the state seizes the assets and destroys whatever income the family had... or "sells" it to a Party Member or affiliated organization. That may be why most wealthy families have adopted living trusts - to get around nonsense such as this. Think about Space-X if Musk were to suddenly die. Why do all of Our Solutions have to directly attack God's Life Manual and Instruction Set? In this case, the policy of inheritance.

Seventy-four percent of young Americans, including 70% of self-identified conservatives, believe the “cost of housing in America has reached a crisis level.” More than half (56%) of self-identified conservatives would support a congressional proposal to expand government housing and a nationwide rent freeze.
-- The number of 1st time home buyers is at a record low. The average age of a 1st time home buyer is now 40, a record high. There's some other screaming sirens of danger as well. One thing I've seen, and this is just a complaint, is that the 65+ are holding their houses, refusing to sell and voting against any policy that increases supply b/c it'll reduce their home value. Maybe. But what I do know is Powell is killing housing (and the economy) to benefit Dems. His higher rates keep those who want to sell from selling and those who want to buy from buying. Republicans are offering less than nothing to address this. But they sure AF roused themselves to attack Trump's suggestion. Dems: Zero cost (to you) "solutions" Rs: Zero solutions.

The Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule is a provision of the Fair Housing Act of 1968 that requires federal funding recipients to take proactive steps to eliminate housing discrimination and promote fair housing opportunities. You will have Section 8 and your will pay for it 3X: 1. FHA taxes. 2. Developer fees in your middle class housing project to support multi-family housing. 3. Income support (vouchers).

Wages have been stagnant since 1974,
No shit. At the end of World War Two, the entire planet of industrialized nations was smoldering rubble with the sole exception of the geographically isolated United States. We made everything because the world needed everything Right Now in order to rebuild. The labor unions exploited the hell out of this arrangement and wanted executive wages for menial work that was often performed while intoxicated or hung over. When Japan and Germany returned on-line the end was near. Then Jimmy Carter gave China MFN status bringing on China and pretty much guaranteeing America's industrial dominance would end. Then the internet and H1 delivered the rest of Asia and India into the economic picture, driving a stake into the heart of any notion of wage growth.

Critical Drinker compared Avatar to fast food. Something that gets the job of filling your stomach done but you don't remember anything about the meal.
Posted by: Anna Puma at November 18, 2025 08:05 AM (xouAs) That's a fair assessment. But, Avatar also has other problems; 1) Regardless of the pretty pictures on screen, both movies feel like long lectures on the Eeeevils of Humankind and a Squishy Treatise on the Cute and cuddly Nature of Nature until it must rise up to enforce Protard values. 2)The only admirable human characters are, for lack of a better word, "Species Traitors". This is the leftist view of the VietCong applied to a movie- Why don't you hate the Big Violent Aggressive American Soldiers and love the cute little forest people who just want to live in communist all-natural Heaven. 3) So, in essence this is a movie made for human hating furries. A small but growing gaggle of lunatics. It's a movie that alienates its audience as it "entertains" them. Posted by: naturalfake at November 18, 2025 08:32 AM (iJfKG) 253

I can't link it right now, but if you image search for titanic iceberg, you will find what is supposedly a photograph of the iceberg which caused the sinking of RMS Titanic. It was said to have been near the area of the disaster and had a distinct red streak at its waterline.
There has been speculation that it was not the berg, but as the photograph was taken only a few days after the sinking (IIRC), it has usually been accepted as authentic. Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing (aka Eloquent Depression) at November 18, 2025 08:36 AM (ufSfZ) 272

65+ People usually like the homes they build or own; moving is an expensive, frustrating and time-consuming chore.
They're also, frequently, not in starter homes. Now, admittedly, them not selling could, theoretically, prevent someone in a starter home from moving up but where would the olds move to? A smaller home? That doesn't help supply for the yoots either. Building restrictions, that's a potential issue. Building codes is another.

A consideration for those who are empty nesters where the kids aren't nearby or return for holidays - since you don't need to move for work or to be closer to family, where you land is where your church, your neighbors, your social and shopping habits are going to remain.

>>It's ridiculous to speculate what an American writer who died in 1985 ( E.B White) would feel about open borders and illegal immigration today
I find the entire situation very illuminating. A large majority of Democrats obviously believe illegal immigration is not illegal. They are going to the mattresses to keep tens of millions of people who are here illegally in the country. And then they turn around and whine that housing, food and everything else is too expensive. It's certainly not the only cause but in any situation where you increase demand for a finite good or service the price will go up. Democrats don't understand this because most of them are dumber than dogshit. Before we toss old timers in the street and blame them for yet another problem bedeviling the yutes how about we get the 10s of millions of illegals out of the country and see how that works for starters.

That is not at all how Bitcoin works or what miners are doing.
Posted by: Doof ===== Bitcoin is simply a computer based conversion of energy and computers via software into crypto currency via 'mining'. Its scarcity is based on the production of the specific 'block' becoming harder and harder to resolve as miners vie with each other to solve the crypto puzzles to get the cookie (a bitcoin). The easy solutions are long gone so it requires more and more computing power (and energy) to solve these puzzles--thus creating artificial scarcity based on costs of inputs. Sort of like a declining gold mine may have gold but it gets more and more expensive to ferret out the metal and separate from the dross. Posted by: whig at November 18, 2025 09:34 AM (WDjG6) 586

Trump ended Biden's hyperflation, but that destruction of the value of the dollar we incurred under Biden is permanent.
Posted by: 18-1 I think it was in part a soft default of US currency like when Nixon went off the gold standard setting off similar inflation waves. In Nixon's case it was the inability of Bretton Woods to accommodate the US becoming a debtor nation too. In Biden's case, it was the increasingly burden of the existing federal debt and its servicing. Biden's term resulted in a 25-30 percent permanent devaluation of that debt into cheaper dollars. A hard default would mean basically spending in US budget would have to drop to what it brought in as taxes. That would be about a 30-35 percent decline putting the US into an immediate depression for a time. Sovereign defaults generally require austerity aka poverty for about 10-12 years or so before a slow recovery. Then you have nations like Argentina that went in one century from one of the richest countries in the world to one of the poor ones via repeated defaults based on government overspending.

“Virginia must leave the parenting decisions where they belong: with parents,” Taske says. “By asserting that authority for itself, Virginia not only violates its citizens’ rights to free speech but also exposes them to increased risk of privacy and security breaches.” yep Posted by: m Except Virginia just elected CIA Barbie as Gov, an Iman as Lt. Gov, and an Khmer Rouge enthusiast as AG. Also, state house is solidly Marxist/muslim now (guessing on the muslim part, I just assume the worst. saves time).

Not sure if Pixy covered this in past, but ran across this yesterday (goes to eff.org):
https://tinyurl.com/4arj57zp Apparently Wisconsin and Michigan (which have internet related child protection laws) have discovered that VPNs exist, that kids can use them to get around restrictions, and these states are profoundly unhappy that people would choose to go around those laws in this manner and so wish to ... ban VPNs entirely. I think this might actually be worse than the repeated demands by various governments to "put backdoors in encryption routines so we can access all encrypted content - we won't ever abuse it and the forces of darkness could NEVER exploit this weakness, swearsies". { Hrm.

So yesterday, my dog Kroger had to go to the vet. He's been limping quite a bit and we wanted to see what was going on. The good news is that it was not osteosarcoma (A nasty disease that seems to hate greyhounds for some reason) but arthritis. This means he's on a new drug regimen and we have to enforce bed rest for him.

The Killer Kittenz From Outer Space, aka the Furry Thugs, are doing well. Stirling slept with me and for a change did not try to wake me by leaping and dashing across the bed like a leopard after its prey. Dagny, I found, was curled on a couch cushion like a fluffy gray version of Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra.
Which, by the way, I watched the first three hours (!) of last night on Movies! A beautiful film, the settings and appointments and casting all being great. Rex Harrison as an older Julius Caesar, and Roddy McDowell as his nephew and heir Octavian. Liz was gorgeous. Burton, I found, spent too much time declaiming his lines and talking too fast. People who complain about William Shatner's "staginess" or "ham" tendencies should watch Burton here. Like Bill, he's electric and you can't take his eyes off him . . . but unlike Bill, he sometimes fails (at least here) to come across as a living human being.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at November 18, 2025 05:38 AM (wzUl9) The new issue of Fortean Times magazine has a piece about 'lucid dreaming' which I will have to forward to you.

That happens with me - I cannot read nor play music, and yet I have dreamed songs and even whole movements of symphonies which, conscious, I could never even begin to attempt.

Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at November 18, 2025 *** True. In dreams I am often aware of a flavor to the moments, a sensibility, that in waking times I struggle to get down on paper in a similar scene. Of course many writers have professed themselves disappointed in their own work, that they felt they failed to encapsulate or express the important parts of a scene or an entire work -- even though others think they did beautifully.

Which, by the way, I watched the first three hours (!) of last night on Movies! Cleopatra is my next-favorite movie after Sunset Boulevard. I love it, even with Burton's hamminess and Taylor's less-than-commanding voice. The ending of part 1 and the very ending of the movie are both breathtaking set pieces. Ben Mankiewicz of TCM did a 6-part (I think) podcast called The Plot Thickens about the making of the movie and how it destroyed his great-uncle. You can find it on Sirius XM. Back to work.

Oh, I admire Burton overall. Ten years before Cleopatra, I think, he would have made a fine James Bond had someone done a film version of one of the early Fleming books like Live and Let Die or Moonraker. At times in the 1953 The Desert Rats you can see it -- he even resembles the young Sean Connery in some shots.
But those who think William Shatner overacts need to have a look at some of Burton's work. Still, the panoramic scenes in Cleopatra -- the opening shots after Caesar has defeated Pompey, for instance, or Cleopatra's barge arriving in Tarsus harbor -- are stunning. You get the feeling it might really have looked like that in life. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at November 18, 2025 06:19 AM (wzUl9) 64

Today I want to drive out to the Buick dealer and ask if they can order me some body parts -- the black panels that dress up the B-pillars; one of mine is chipping -- and how much they'd charge to install them. The parts are $30 each online, but I have no idea how to install them. If this dealer (who is usually a straight shooter) tells me each part is $100, then I'll shift my plan.
It's a good excuse to get in some highway driving, and possibly to drop by the pipe shop for some supplies. And I have to buy dry chow for the Furry Thugs while I'm out.

Keith Richards of Rolling Stones fame kept a (at the time) fancy new Phillips portable cassette player/recorder with him wherever he went. He was at a hotel and woke up in the middle of the night with a guitar riff in his head. He recorded a bit of it and went back to sleep. By morning he had forgotten all about it, but noticed the tape was at the end of the cassette. He rewound it and played it back. Surprise! Where did that come from, he wondered. The rest of the tape was him snoring. It eventually became I Can’t Get No Satisfaction a big hit for them.
My theory is our brains are like calculators or whatever and recombine melodies and tunes into new derivative tunes from ones we already know. When you hear a new riff in your head it’s best to record it, like Keith, because they are like dreams, and you’ll forget them. Posted by: Common Tater at November 18, 2025 06:48 AM (QCKtw) 112

One of the reasons given in the article was the recent AWS and Azure outages.

This isn't a problem with "a small number of players controlling the market", there are dozens of Tier 2 cloud providers out there.

Developer withdraws data center plan after legal issue halts zoning meeting
"It was a little bit unexpected. We were anticipating this would be a normal zoning hearing," said Dave Sander, solicitor for the Plymouth Township zoning area. Less than an hour into the meeting, one of the parties raised an issue that halted the process. Sander said it "came to light from one of the parties that the applicant did not have legal standing to proceed with the application. It turned out that the agreement of sale that the applicant was signing with the owner of the property was not finalized; therefore, the applicant does not have legal standing."

The PSN program is an evidence-based program that focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders while bringing together a broad spectrum of stakeholders to identify the most pressing violent crime problems and develop comprehensive solutions to address them. One such problem is violence in Chicago's downtown neighborhoods and public rail system. In June of this year, U.S. Attorney Boutros announced an expansion of PSN to include the economic centers in downtown Chicago and the entire rail system operated by the Chicago Transit Authority, including all train lines.Sorry, it's a TownHall link, which means it can be nigh unreadable with the popups and other ads splashed all over the place. And to make it worse, there is a huge amount of government jargon and obfuscation. But the salient point is that the federal government is charging and prosecuting violent criminals.

Again sacrificing my time, I watched the second episode of American Revolution tonight. There was a significant time spent on the plight of free and enslaved people and those on the English side who lured them to fight for the King. Didn't turn out too well. Other than that, a good rundown on the fighting and non-fighting up to 1776. A good rundown of TJ and others penning the Declaration of Independence and the outcome of that in America and England. So far, Burns isn't getting TOO deeply involved in the black/indian situation. It is significant to history that Virginia was the most powerful of the colonies and about 40% slaves.

Another potential stop on TiFW's BLY#2B is to see Jeff Dunham in Reno in March. We can combine that with a trip to visit DD#1 and her family, since they have a house 30 miles away in Truckee.
But they are buying a bigger house in Orinda, so we may just "squat" at the Truckee house for a night or two. I also want to see the big trees 😊 Poor Paul - he asked if we had to do something EVERY month. I told him that we don't know how much time I have left (the cancer has started to figure out how to beat the chemo), so yes, for as long as I am feeling good, we will be seeing/doing all of the things that I have always wanted to see/do!

The highest point in Nebraska is Panorama Point! It's 5429 ft. You can scale it's mighty peaks (drive up to it) and gaze upon the majestic scenery (it's a cattle ranch but for a few bucks, you can drive to PP). It's nothing but rolling grasslands as far as the eye can see. On a clear day, you can probably see the Rockies. I've never been to Panorama Point but I want to see it. I don't know why.

18 Heavy drinking in youth may aid career success, study suggests
Yup. This is the real ONT. Posted by: Diogenes at November 17, 2025 10:28 PM (2WIwB) _________________________________ I could see two paths where this might be true. 1. When you drink at a young age your confidence increases setting a tone for risk taking. Additionally, you are more social and likely to increase your social circle thus increasing your worldliness. 2. There is, also, the possibility of waking up in all kinds of compromising situations and perhaps even that ONE single Epiphone where if forces you to take a seat, and tell yourself. "Wow, I was lucky this time. But, I can't keep doing this, or I'm looking at big problems." And, then proceeding forward with a new vibrant, productive, and achievement based attitude.

Per reporting in the PanAm Post, Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz, after only one week in office, revealed that during the 20 years of Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) governments [including the Evo Morales administration], more than $15 billion (USD) were stolen from state coffers, according to initial estimates by Paz' administration. In his most recent statements, he asserted that although “it must be certified,” the situation is no longer “a political issue,” but rather a matter of what the country will suffer as a result of socialist corruption. “A few thieves have stolen part of our country's future,” said the president.

Geodesy is a complicated, many splendored thing. When we speak of elevation, what do mean? Height about mean sea level. And what the hell is mean sea level? That's were it gets complex. Mean sea level is the "0" equipotential surface of the earth's gravitational field, with centrifugal terms due to rotation. That is, equipotentials in a rotating reference frame. That has now been measured to high precision with satellite gravimetry.

The hope is that the surgery will remove most of the cancer cells. So far it doesn't look like the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, but we will know more once they get in there.

206 I love the desert. - BarelyScaryMary
So do I. I lived in Arizona for a year and a half and spent as much time as I could in the desert, mainly the White Tank Mountains. I remember times, taking a rest after a hike, when I would just sit and listen, and the silence was almost palpable; it was quieter than sitting in a room in your own house. And the smell of sun-blasted rock and the feel of clean sand, and the sight of those tall saguaros. It's the only place that I think I ever actually yearned for.

205 One of the many things I find interesting about Texas are those huge counties in the western part of the state that have miniscule populations. How did that come about?
Posted by: Paco I think you kind of answered your own question. I'm just guessing here but it's because its sparsely populated that you have huge counties out there. Otherwise, you'd have counties with the population in the 10's and no county seat because no town. A guess of course. I expect Texans to jump on this if wrong.

59 This is why I chuckle when I hear people talk about mountains in New Jersey.
They are mountains. The NE corner of NJ has a bit of the Appalachian Mountains going through it. Yea, they're small in comparison to the Rockies, Cascades, Sierras, out west, but still mountains.

Posted by: Anonymous Rogue in Kalifornistan ---- I'm a tent camper=backpacker but will totally recommend Big Bend NP In an RV you would need to go to Rio Grande Village campground.

Now I live in a state that has more cattle than people, so I have that going for me.
Posted by: Archer at November 18, 2025 12:31 AM (YGRGv) 235
Note that geoid surface is not the actual topographical surface of the earth, sometimes dubbed the "topoid", that's the shape of mean sea level. Note there is a deep hole in the Indian Ocean. And it's matched by a pooched up place over in the South Pacific. And note Europe is sort of pooched up as well. You can see defining latitude and longitude on that lumpy asymmetric surface would be a mess. Thus an ellipsoid is defined. We take an oblate spheroid (circle at the equator, but with polar radius less than equatorial), and find the best fit such surface to the geoid. That's the reference ellipsoid, WGS84 being the main one used. Longitude on that ellipsoid is the same as spherical, but latitude is a bit different. It's not the angle of the radius to the surface point above the equator, but the angle of the surface normal at the point to the equator. Thus geodetic latitude is not exactly the same as spherical. The differences are small for the earth, but for high precision work, they are significant. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 18, 2025 12:35 AM (w6EFb) 236

When GSP measures your position, it's giving those ellipsoidal coordinates relative to WGS84. The elevation given is the height about or below the ellipsoid, along the normal to the surface.
That is not the same as the height above the geoid, or your elevation relative to mean sea level. That difference is called the geodetic undulation. Right here at my location, it's about -80'. The geoid is 80 feet below the ellipsoid. And that's the proper elevation to use for barometer settings. The GPS elevation can thus trip you up.

In another interesting astronomical observation, they were able to image a Type II Supernova right as first blew for the first time ever. One popped off in a galaxy, NGC 3621, about 22 million ly away. Not a galaxy far, far away, really, but a fairly close one, relatively speaking. Anyway, seeing it so early, the very day it blew, they were able to measure the shape of the explosion for the first time. It's prolate spheroidal, not spherical.

Soros is also bankrolling an anti-Israel propaganda group. Oh? It was just a policy choice with both pros and cons, eh? "The past nine months of Israel's genocidal war in Gaza have spurred an unprecedented global awakening to the plight of the Palestinian people," reads the opening line of Scahill's story. Drop Site has not disclosed funding from the Open Society Foundations, of which Soros's son Alex took control in 2022.... The Open Society Foundations funneled its contribution to Drop Site through the Social Security Works Education Fund, earmarked "to support establishing a Drop Site News MENA desk to to [sic] bridge a critical information gap in independent journalism." Drop Site has provided little coverage of Social Security, or any other domestic entitlement programs. Instead, its bread-and-butter has been coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, from a decidedly anti-Israel viewpoint.While Soros funds anti-Israel propaganda sites that justify the slaughter of 10/7, he also activates his many paid agents in the media to brand any criticism of him -- any criticism -- as "antisemitic hatred." I've been on the wrong side of that disgusting game myself. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

The fact that Soros funded these Euro-based leftwing shitstains supports the theory I espoused last week in the post on Trump designating Euro-based Antifag groups as “foreign terrorist” groups: that cumweasels like Soros fund both US- and Euro-based Antifag groups. So going after Soros for funding Euro-based Antifag groups will also shutdown big funders of USA Antifag.

------ The term "far-right" is the most misused term in journalism. There is NO "far right". The moment one leaves the "right" to start flouncing for nazis and Stalin and all that other nonsense you're not typically simultaneously pounding the gavel for less governmental regulation, free and fair elections, a free market economy, etc. One is either "right", or not-right, but "far-right" is a term the LEFT made up to make boogeymen out of the real "right".

You know, I have been thinking on Thomas Crooks and the FBI and SSS acting out the proverbial "the dog that had an acid trip in the night" as an institutional failure thing.
One of the cop stories I once heard was of a rookie in a big city department who shot a dealer in an alleyway, and in that department there had been a sense of comradeship in that if there had been a bad shoot, it was the sort of thing to slip a "kick gun", an unregistered firearm, under the body to prove there was a basis for the shooting. It was rumored to be a thing the cops would do on their own to protect their own. Well, the coroner showed up among the milling cops and they flipped the body over and found four guns under the body. If everyone thought that Butler was a hit, and they had to protect the agency or bureau, whichever it was, they would act on their own to both facilitate and cover up any plan and/or incompetence. Not a plan, but a murmurations of starlings, as it were. and that means they all need to be crucified. Posted by: Kindltot at November 17, 2025 06:31 PM (rbvCR) 49

As far as I am concerned it's his money he can give to to whom ever he wants to unless he breaks the law. IMO he is a worthless piece of dog $hit that needs to be scraped off the bottom of the American public's shoe, but it is his money.
Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at November 17, 2025 06:15 PM (0N4FZ) Soros' organizations were using USAID money to operate, and probably are still using National Endowment for Democracy money, and most likely British government funding as well. I doubt they use his money. Globalism implies that you will be taxed to pay for the ropes they use to hang you. Posted by: Kindltot at November 17, 2025 06:36 PM (rbvCR) 70

The term "far-right" is the most misused term in journalism. There is NO "far right".
Posted by: Crusader at November 17, 2025 06:30 PM (TN0g+) --- There is no such thing as "right" either. It's a convention that was mainly started by Marxists. But there is no tissue that ties all non-Marxists together. Heck the fascists and syndicalists believed a good portion of what Marxists believed. And there is a much bigger overlap between "left" and "right" there than there is between Islamics and Constitutionalists, who believe in unfashionably "200-year old document"s.

Yeah, and if I recall correctly, Soros dumped a billion into Ukraine (or was angling to do so) pre-"color revolution." The thought that this is all fairly made money by hard work and shrewd investing is for children.

"The Anti-Christ will be a Jew"
idk, but JC said of (some of) the Pharisees "you are of your father the devil, and the works of your father you will do". Clearly it is not all about bloodline. (and the term "Jew" is post JC, there were twelve tribes, but often the faithful had to hide in caves, from "their" own "blood". Often only a "remnant" remained faithful) Lot offered his pure daughters to the roving sodomists that wanted to "rape" the "strangers" (Gentiles? but really angels). imo, at the moment at least, faithfulness is the key, not bloodline.

Except, I do know. Because the current murkiness and obscurity benefits the Worldwide Uniparty-- they all know they are using our money against us. J6 wasn't a fear of death It was worse-- it was a fear we'd take back our government from them.

OK, this is off topic but what is with all these posts that I've had come across my feed about MAGA turning on Trump. They are all either, he's not putting America first, to paying Israeli soldiers, to Epstein files and what Trump is hiding. I don't read them, just move on from them, but the amount of what im seeing is alarming. My first thought is dem operatives are infected ting everything and posting anywhere they can.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indiana Senate’s top Republican on Monday would not respond to Gov. Mike Braun’s demand he reverse his decision to call off a special session on congressional redistricting. Senate President pro tempore Rod Bray, R-Martinsville, walked away from reporters and would not answer their questions following Monday’s annual legislative preview sponsored by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce. He also would not answer questions about a swatting incident that targeted a member of his caucus, Sen. Greg Goode, R-Terre Haute. Goode has not yet publicly taken a position on redistricting. He held a town hall on the matter on Nov. 1 in Terre Haute. Bray on Friday threw cold water on the prospect of a redistricting session when he announced Senate Republicans still don’t have enough votes to support new maps mid-cycle and said the Senate will not convene until January.

A bit of good news may be in the offing for Chile. In the first round of the presidential election, the communist candidate garnered 27% of the vote, and a conservative candidate took around 24%; however, the conservative vote was split because of multiple center/right candidates. Right-wing candidates got 70% of the vote. In a head to head match-up, pro-Trump José Antonio Kast is favored to beat communist Jeanette Jara in the second round.

The nutters are disillusioned because they convinced themselves that all their schizo ravings were going to finally get validated, but when that didn't happen they have to turn on Trump ("He must be in on it") so their conspiracies can still somehow hold water in their mushy brains. The Dems are actively inflaming the retards by brazenly lying about Epstein and claiming Israel controls Trump to keep the lunatics ranting. Posted by: Sjg at November 17, 2025 07:22 PM (aqZN1) 195

Now, is the left side for "Freedom"? "Equality"? "Fraternity"? Or just for Equality, once we get rid of the "counterrevolutionaries", and Fraternity, once we get rid of the "counterrevolutionaries", and Freedom, as long as it isn't used to spare the offspring of the nobles who spent a mere fraction of their life enjoying any such thing as "privilege"? Isn't it more like the myth of "The Right" that they are more likely to jail their foes for merely disagreeing and form a Police State? Because of how 180-degree this formula is, I say strongly there is no "right"--because it doesn't even fully apply to the original reference!

However, if you have observed modern leftists you can probably follow that people who weren't fully on board with slaying the children of nobles for the "crime" of being born to nobility were repudiated as "counterrevolutionaries". Because leftist ideology tends to move goalposts as they intensify. So again, which side is "compassionate"? Want to kill kids for who their parents were?

"Left" and "Right" aren't even complete anyway.
Because the most radical group of Jacobins didn't sit on "the far left" of the Assembly, but they were call "The Mountain" or sometimes "Montagnards" because they sat up high in the bleachers.
